INTRODUCTORY  NOTE 

The  present  work  is  a  codification  of  the  typographical 
rules  employed  by  the  University  of  Chicago  in  connection 
with  its  official  printing  and  publications  issued  through 
the  University  Press.  Having  its  genesis,  nearly  two 
decades  ago,  in  a  single  sheet  of  fundamentals,  jotted 
down  by  the  first  proofreader  at  odd  moments  for  his 
own  guidance;  added  to  from  year  to  year,  as  oppor- 
tunity offered  or  new  necessities  arose;  revised  and 
re-revised  as  the  scope  of  the  work,  and,  it  is  hoped,  the 
wisdom  of  the  workers,  increased — it  emerges  in  its  present 
form  as  the  embodiment  of  traditions,  the  crystallization 
of  usages,  the  blended  product  of  the  reflections  of  many 
minds. 

Regulations  like  these,  in  the  nature  of  the  case, 
cannot  be  endowed  with  the  fixity  of  unchanging  law. 
They  are  meant  for  the  average  case,  and  must  be 
applied  with  a  certain  degree  of  elasticity.  Exceptions 
will  constantly  occur,  and  ample  room  is  left  for  individual 
initiative  and  discretion.  They  point  the  way  and  survey 
the  road,  rather  than  remove  the  obstacles.  Throughout 
this  book  it  is  assumed  that  no  regulation  contained  therein 
is  absolutely  inviolable.  Wherever  the  peculiar  nature  of 
the  subject-matter,  the  desirability  of  throwing  into  relief 
a  certain  part  of  the  argument,  the  reasonable  preference

vi  INTRODUCTORY  NOTE 

of  a  writer,  or  a  typographical  contingency  suggests  a 
deviation,  such  deviation  may  legitimately  be  made.  Each 
case  of  this  character  must  be  decided  largely  upon  its 
own  merits.  Generally  it  may  be  stated  that,  where  no 
question  of  taste  or  logic  is  involved,  deference  should 
be  shown  to  the  expressed  wishes  of  the  author. 

The  nature  of  the  work  of  the  Press  itself — and  this 
will  apply,  to  a  greater  or  less  extent,  to  any  similar  in- 
stitution affected  by  local  conditions — constantly  calls  for 
modification,  now  of  this  rule,  now  of  that.  It  would  be 
found  impracticable,  even  were  it  desirable,  to  bring  all 
its  publications  into  rigid  uniformity  of  "style"  and 
appearance.  Methods  have  been  devised,  systems  evolved, 
in  certain  lines  of  work,  which  cannot  be  carried  bodily 
over  into  the  field  of  others.  Thus,  in  the  matter  of  literary 
references,  for  instance,  general  practice  has  established 
certain  usages  in  some  of  the  sciences  which  it  would  not 
be  advisable  to  ignore.  Similar  differences  in  practice 
may  be  observed  in  other  directions.  These  deviations 
from  the  general  rules  will  be  found  mentioned  at  the 
appropriate  places  in  the  body  of  the  book.  On  the  whole, 
however,  the  rules  are  designed  to  govern  all  publications 
sent  forth  with  the  official  publishing  imprint,  "The 
University  of  Chicago  Press." 

Concerning  the  character  and  contents  of  the  book 
little  need  be  added.  Its  origin,  its  primary  aim,  and  its 
limitations,  as  outlined  above,  will  suggest  the  bounds  of 
its  usefulness.  It  does  not  pretend  to  be  exhaustive;  a 
few  things  must  be  taken  for  granted,  and  the  traditional 


INTRODUCTORY  NOTE  vii 

territory  of  the  dictionary  has  only  exceptionally  been 
invaded.  It  does  not  presume  to  be  iniiexibiy  consistent; 
applicability,  in  the  printing-office,  is  a  better  test  than 
iron-clad  consistency,  and  common-sense  a  safer  guide 
than  abstract  logic.  It  lays  no  claim  to  perfection  in  any 
of  its  parts;  bearing  throughout  the  inevitable  earmarks 
of  compromise,  it  will  not  carry  conviction  at  every  point 
to  everybody.  Neither  is  it  an  advocate  of  any  radical 
scheme  of  reform;  in  the  present  state  of  the  agitation 
for  changes  in  spelling,  progressive  conservatism  has 
been  thought  to  be  more  appropriate  for  an  academic 
printing-office  than  radicalism.  As  it  stands,  this  Manual 
is  believed  to  contain  a  fairly  comprehensive,  reasonably 
harmonious,  and  v^holesomely  practical  set  of  work-rules 
for  the  aid  of  those  who  have  to  do  with  questions  of 
typographical  style.  For  the  benefit  of  those  whose  duties 
bring  them  into  direct  contact  with  the  manufacturing 
department  of  the  Press,  specimen  pages  of  the  available 
types  have  been  added. 

The  Manual  of  Style  is  now  in  its  third  edition.  That 
it  is  recognized  as  possessing  merit  is  evidenced  by  its 
adoption  and  use  in  many  editorial  offices,  libraries, 
and  proofrooms  in  the  United  States  and  Canada. 
This  edition  incorporates  several  new  rules  which  it  is 
believed  will  prove  helpful,  and  at  the  same  time  seeks 
to  elucidate  some  of  the  older  rules,  in  the  apphcation 
of  which  difficulties  may  arise.  Changes  in  literary 
practice,  the  legislation  of  learned  societies,  the  recent 
development  of  the  profession  of  Hbrarian,  with   the 


Vlll  INTRODUCTORY  NOTE 

attendant  uniformity  of  practice  recommended  by  the 
national  association  of  librarians,  and  the  added  experi- 
ence resulting  from  a  daily  application  of  these  rules  to 
a  very  varied  list  of  publications,  are  all  factors  con- 
tributing to  the  need  of  periodical  revision. 

The  work,  thus  remodeled,  is  again  offered  to  the 
public,  in  the  hope  that  it  may  continue  to  be  useful 
to  those  whose  occupations  require  some  familiarity  with 
the  niceties  of  typographical  form.

MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   CAPITALIZATION  13 

25.  Words  which  have  an  acquired,  limited,  or  special 
meaning : 

the  Doctor's  degree;  a  report  of  the  Master  (in  chancery); 
a  Bachelor's  hood;  a  Freshman. 

But  do  not  capitalize  such  expressions  as — 
the  doctorate,  a  master  in  chancery  (the  last  two  words  being 
explanatory,  the  capitalization  of  "master"  is  here  no  longer 
necessary  to  indicate  a  special  meaning). 

26.  "Nature"  and  similar  terms,  and  abstract  ideas, 

when  personified : 

"Nature  wields  her  scepter  mercilessly";  "Vice  in  the  old 
English  morality  plays." 

27.  "Father"  used  for  church  father,  and  "reformers" 

used  of  Reformation  leaders,  whenever  the  meaning 

otherwise  would  be  ambiguous: 

the  Fathers,  the  early  Fathers,  the  Greek  Fathers,  [Pilgrim 
Fathers],  the  Reformers  (but:  the  church  reformers  of  the 
fifteenth  century). 

28.  The  word  "church"  in  properly  cited  titles  of 
nationally  organized  bodies  of  believers  in  which, 
through  historical  associations,  it  has  become  insepa- 
rably linked  with  the  name  of  a  specific  locality;  or 
when  forming  part  of  the  name  of  a  particular 
edifice: 

Church  of  Rome,  Church  of  England,  High  Church;  Church 
of  the  Holy  Sepulcher,  Fifth  Avenue  Baptist  Church,  First 
Methodist  Church. 

But  do  not  capitalize,  except  as  noted  above,  when 

standing  alone,  in  any  sense — universal,  national, 


14  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 


local — or  when  the  name  is  not  correctly  or  fully 
quoted: 

the  church  (^organized  Christianity),  the  Eastern  (Greek 
Orthodox)  church,  the  Roman  Catholic  church,  the  estab- 
Ushed  church  (but:  the  EstabUshment),  the  state  church;  the 
Baptist  church  in  Englewood. 

Note. — In  exceptional  cases,  where  the  opposition  of  Church 
and  State  constitutes  a  fundamental  part  of  the  argument,  and 
it  is  desired  to  lend  force  to  this  antithesis,  emphasis  may  be  added 
by  capitalizing  the  two  words.     (See  Preface  to  first  edition.) 

29.  Names  for  the  Bible  and  other  sacred  books: 
(Holy,  Sacred)  Scriptures,  Holy  Writ,  Word  of  God,  Book  of 
Books;  Koran,  Vedas,  Mishna,  the  Upanishads;   Apocrj-pha. 

But  do  not  capitalize  adjectives  derived  from  such 
nouns: 

biblical,  scriptural,  koranic,  vedic,  talmudic,  apocryphal. 

30.  Versions  of  the  Bible : 

King  James's  Version,  Authorized  Version  (A.V.),  Revised 
Version  (R.V.),  Polychrome  Bible,  Septuagint  (LXX), 
Peshitto. 

31.  Books  and  divisions  of  the  Bible  and  of  other  sacred 
books  (see  60) : 

Old  Testament,  Pentateuch,  Exodus,  II  (Second)  Kings, 
Book  of  Job,  Psalms  (Psalter),  the  [Mosaic]  Law  and  the 
[writings  of  the]  Prophets,  Minor  Prophets,  Wisdom  Literature, 
Gospel  of  Luke,  Synoptic  Gospels,  Fourth  Gospel,  Acts  of 
the  Apostles  (the  Acts),  Epistle  to  the  Romans,  Pastoral 
Epistles,  Apocalypse  (Revelation),  Sermon  on  the  Mount, 
Beatitudes,  Lord's  Prayer,  Ten  Commandments  (Decalogue), 
Judith,  Bel  and  the  Dragon. 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   CAPITALIZATION  15 

But  do  not  capitalize  words  like  "book,"  "gospel," 
"epistle,"  "psalm"  in  such  connections  as — 

the  five  books  of  Moses,  the  first  forty  psalms,  the  gospels 
and  epistles  of  the  New  Testament,  [the  synoptic  problem, 
the  synoptists],  the  biblical  apocalypses. 

32.  Biblical  parables: 

the  parable  of  the  Prodigal  Son. 

33.  Such  miscellaneous  terms  as — 

Last  Supper,  Eucharist,  the  Passion,  the  Twelve  (apostles), 
the  Seventy  (disciples),  the  Servant,  the  Day  of  Yahweh,  the 
Chronicler,  the  Psalmist,  the  Golden  Rule. 

34.  The  first  word  of  a  sentence,  and  in  poetry  the  first 
word  of  each  line : 

In  summer,  on  the  headlands, 

The  Baltic  Sea  along. 
Sits  Neckan,  with  his  harp  of  gold. 

And  sings  his  plaintive  song. 

In  Greek  and  Latin  poetry,  however,  capitalize  only 
the  first  word  of  a  paragraph,  not  of  each  verse 
(line) : 

Totcrt  o'  dotoos  aeiSe  TreptKAuros,  ol  8c  anoTrrj

Talia  praefantes  quondam  felicia  Pelei

praesentes:  namque  ante  domos  inuisere  castas 
heroum  et  sese  mortali  ostendere  coetu 
caehcolae  nondum  spreta  pietate  solebant. 


1 6  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 


35.  The  first  word  after  a  colon  only  when  introducing 
a  complete  passage,  or  sentence  which  would  have 
independent  meaning,  as  in  summarizations  and 
quotations  not  closely  connected  with  what  precedes; 
or  where  the  colon  has  the  weight  of  such  expres- 
sion as  "as  follows,"  "namely,"  "for  instance,"  or 
a  similar  phrase,  and  is  followed  by  a  logically  com- 
plete sentence: 

"In  conclusion  I  wish  to  say:  It  will  be  seen  from  the  above 
that  ....";  "As  the  old  proverb  has  it:  'Haste  makes 
waste'";  "My  theory  is:  The  moment  the  hot  current  strikes 
the  surface  .  .  .  ." 

But  do  not  capitalize  the  first  word  of  a  quotation  if 
immediately  connected  with  what  precedes  (unless, 
as  the  first  word  of  a  sentence,  beginning  a  paragraph 
in  reduced  type) ;  or  the  first  word  after  a  colon,  if 
an  implied  "namely,"  or  a  similar  term,  is  followed 
by  a  brief  explanatory  phrase,  logically  dependent 
upon  the  preceding  clause;  or  if  the  colon  signal- 
izes a  note  of  comment: 

"The  old  adage  is  true  that  'haste  makes  waste'";  "Two 
explanations  present  themselves:  either  he  came  too  late  for 
the  train,  or  he  was  detained  at  the  station";  "We  could  not 
prevail  upon  the  natives  to  recross  the  stream:  so  great  was 
their  superstition." 

36.  As  a  rule,  the  first  word  in  sections  of  enumeration, 
if  any  one  link  contains  two  or  more  distinct  clauses 
(not  inclosed  in  parentheses),  separated  by  a  semi- 
colon, colon,  or  period,  unless  all  are  dependent 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   CAPITALIZATION  17 

upon  the  same  term  preceding  and  leading  up  to 
them  (see  138): 

"His  reasons  for  refusal  were  three:  (i)  He  did  not  have  the 
time.  (2)  He  did  not  have  the  means;  or,  at  any  rate,  had  no 
funds  available  at  the  moment.  (3)  He  doubted  the  feasi- 
bility of  the  plan."  But:  "He  objected  that  (i)  he  did  not 
have  the  time;  (2)  he  did  not  have  the  means;  or,  at  any 
rate,  had  no  funds  available;  (3)  he  doubted  the  feasibility 
of  the  plan." 

37.  As  a  rule,  nouns  followed  by  a  numeral — particu- 
larly a  capitalized  Roman  numeral — indicating 
their  order  in  a  sequence: 

Room  16,  Ps.  20,  Grade  IV,  Act  I,  Vol.  I,  No.  2,  Book  II, 
Div.  Ill,  Part  IV. 

But  do  not  capitalize  such  minor  subdivisions  of 

publications  as — 

sec.  4,  scene  i,  art.  iii,  art.  "Evidence,"  chap.  2  (ii),  p.  7 
(vii),  vs.  II,  I.  5,  n.  6.     (See  no.) 

38.  The  first  word  of  a  cited  speech  (thought)  in  direct 

discourse,  whether  preceded  by  a  colon  or  a  comma 

(on  this  see  131): 

"On  leaving  he  remarked:  'Never  shall  I  forget  this  day'"; 
"With  the  words,  'Never  shall  I  forget  this  day,'  he  departed"; 
"I  thought  to  myself:  This  day  I  shall  never  forget"  (without 
quotation  marks). 

39.  In  resolutions,  the  first  words  following  "Whereas" 
and  ''Resolved": 

Whereas,  It  has  pleased  God  .  .  .  .  ;   therefore  be  it 
Resolved,  That  .... 


i8  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 


40.  The  exclamations  "O"  and  "Oh"  (see  117): 

"OLord!"  "I  know  not,  Oh,  I  know  not!"   "Oh,  that  I 
were  home  again!" 

41.  All  the  principal  words  (i.e.,  nouns,  pronouns, 
adjectives,  adverbs,  verbs,  first  and  last  words)  in 
English  titles  of  publications  (books,  pamphlets,  doc- 
uments, periodicals,  reports,  proceedings,  etc.),  and 
their  divisions  (parts,  chapters,  sections,  poems,  arti- 
cles, etc.) ;  in  subjects  of  lectures,  papers,  toasts,  etc. ; 
in  cap-and-small-cap  and  italic  center-heads  (both 
of  which,  however,  should  be  avoided),  and  bold- 
face cut-in  heads  and  side-heads;  in  cap-and-small- 
cap  box-heads  in  tables  (see  279-83) : 

The  Men  Who  Made  the  Nation;  The  American  College — 
Its  Past  and  Present;  the  Report  oj  the  Committee  of  Nine; 
"In  the  Proceedings  of  the  National  Education  Association 
for  1907  there  appeared  a  paper  entitled,  'The  Financial 
Value  of  Education.'" 

Note. — The  Botanical  Gazette  capitalizes  only  first  words  and 
proper  names;  and  the  practice  may  properly  be  followed  in 
general  bibliographies,  such  as  are  to  be  found  under  the  title 
"Literature  Cited"  in  the  Botanical  Gazette  (see  60).  This  style 
is  very  generally  followed  by  librarians  and  others  in  the  com- 
pilation of  lists  of  books  and  publications. 

42.  In  foreign  titles,  in  addition  to  capitalizing  the  first 
word,  follow  these  general  rules : 

a)  In  Latin,  capitalize  proper  nouns,  and  adjectives 

derived  therefrom: 

De  amicitia.   Bellum  Gallictim. 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   CAPITALIZATION  19 

b)  In  French,  Italian,  Spanish,  and  Scandinavian 

titles,  capitalize  proper  nouns  but  not  adjectives 

derived  therefrom: 

Histoire  de  la  litterature  jrangaise,  Novelle  e  racconti  fopolari 
italiani,  Antologia  de  poetas  liricos  castellanos,  Svenska  littera- 
tiirens  historie. 

c)  In  German  and  Danish,  capitalize  all  nouns  but 
not  the  adjectives,  except  German  adjectives  derived 
from  the  names  of  persons:  V^ 
Geschichte  des  deiitschen  Fendalwesens  (but:   die  Homerische 
Frage),  Fremskridt  i  der  nittende  Aarhundrede. 

d)  In  Dutch,  capitalize  all  nouns,  and  all  adjectives 
derived  from  proper  nouns: 

Geschiedenis  det  Nederlandsche  Taal. 

43.  In  mentioning  titles  of  newspapers  and  magazines 
do  not,  as  a  rule,  treat  the  definite  article  as  part  of 
the  title: 

the  Chicago  Tribune,  the  School  Review. 

44.  Titles  of  ancient  manuscripts  (singular,  MS;  plural, 
MSS)  (see  60) : 

Codex  Bemensis,  Cod.  Canonicianus. 

45.  In  titles  with  the  main  words  capitalized,  all  nouns 
forming  parts  of  hyphenated  compounds: 
"Twentieth-Century   Progress,"    "The  Economy  of  High- 
Speed  Trains." 

But  do  not  capitalize  such  components  when  other 
than  nouns: 

Fifty-first  Street,  "Lives  of  Well-known  Authors,"  "World- 
Dominion  of  English-speaking  Peoples." 


20  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

46.  In  botanical,  geological,  zoological,  and  paleonto- 
logical  matter,  the  scientific  (Latin)  names  of  divi- 
sions, orders,  families,  and  genera,  but  not  their 
English  derivatives: 

Cotylosauria,  but:  cotylosaurs;  Felidae,  but:  felids; 
Carnivora,  but:  carnivores. 

Also  in  botanical  and  zoological  matter,  the  names 

of  species,  if  derived  from  names  of  persons,  or 

from  generic  names;  but  in  geological  and  medical 

matter  the  names  of  species  are  never  capitaHzed: 

Felis  leo,  Cocos  nucifera,  Rosa  Carolina,  Parkinsonia  Torrey- 
ana,  Styrax  californica,  Lythrum  hyssopifolia,  Phyteuma 
Halleri,  Carex  Halleriana  (but  [geological] :  Pterygomatopus 
schmidti,  Conodectus  Javosus).     (See  71.) 

47.  The  names  and  epithets  of  peoples,  races,  and  tribes: 
Kafir,  Negro,  Hottentot,  Makassar,  Buginese,  Celestials. 

48.  In  astronomical  work,  the  names  of  the  bodies  of 
our  solar  system  (except  "sun,"  "earth,"  "moon," 
"stars"): 

the  Milky  Way,  the  Great  Bear,  Saturn. 

49.  Divisions,  departments,  officers,  and  courses  of 
study  of  the  University  of  Chicago,  in  all  ofl&cial 
work  dealing  with  its  administration  or  curricula: 

(the  University),  the  School  of  Education  (the  School),  the 
University  Extension  Division  (but:  the  division),  the  Depart- 
ment of  Anthropology  (but:  the  department);  the  Board  of 
Trustees^ the  Trustees,  the  Board),  the  Senate,  the  Council, 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   CAPITALIZATION  21 

the  Faculty  of  the  College  of  Commerce  and  Administration 
(but:  the  faculty);  the  President,  the  Registrar,  Professor  of 
Physics,  Assistant  in  Chemistry,  Fellow,  Scholar;  the  Van 
Husen  Scholarship  (but:  the  scholarship) ;  courses  in  Political 
Economy,  Autumn  Quarter  (but:  a  quarter),  First  Term  (but: 
two  terms;  major,  minor);  [Hall  (referring  to  the  University 
dormitories)]. 

Use  Capitals  and  Small  Capitals  for — 

50.  The  names  of  town  and  state  in  the  date  line,  and 

the  salutatory  phrase  at  the  beginning,  of  letters, 

and  the  signature  and  residence  at  the  end  of  letters 

or  articles,  etc.: 

Chicago,  III.,  January'  i,  191 1 

(Set  to  the  right,  with  one  em's  indention,  and  preferably  in 
smaller  type  than  the  body  of  the  letter.) 

My  dear  Mr.  Smith: 

(Set  flush,  followed  by  a  colon,  in  the  same  type  as  the  body 
of  the  letter,  and  in  a  separate  line,  unless  preceded  by 
another  line  giving  the  name  and  address,  in  which  case  it 
should  be  run  in  with  the  text  of  the  letter,  indented  as  a 
paragraph  [see  64].) 

Charles  W.  Scott 

(Set  to  the  right,  with  one  em's  indention,  and  in  the  same 
type  as  the  body  of  the  letter  or  article.) 

Harvard  University 

Cambridge,  Mass. 

June  7,  1911 

(Set  to  the  left,  with  two  ems'  indention,  in  smaller  type.) 
(Each  line  of  the  address  should  be  in  caps  and  small  caps, 
and  should  be  centered  on  the  one  preceding.    The  date 


22  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

should  be  in  caps  and  lower  case,  likewise  centered  on  those 
above.) 

51.  In  resolutions,  the  word  "Whereas"  (see  39);  in 
notes  (not  footnotes),  the  word  "Note,"  which 
should  be  followed  by  a  period  and  a  dash;  in  con- 
stitutions, by-laws,  etc.,  the  word  "Section"  intro- 
ducing paragraphs  and  followed  by  a  number: 

Note. — It  should  be  noticed  that  ....  .  -^ 

Section  i.     This  association  shall  be  styled  .... 

The  usual  practice  is  to  abbreviate  the  word 
"section"  each  time  it  is  used  in  such  a  connection, 
except  the  first: 

Section  i.     The  name  of  the  association    .... 
Sec.  2.     The  object  of  the  association   .... 

Set  in  Small  Capitals — 

52.  a.m.  and  p.m.  {ante  and  p.ost  meridiem),  and  B.C. 
and  a.d,  ("before  Christ"  and  anno  Domini);  these 
should  be  set  without  a  space  between  (see  22, 
103,  106,  219): 

11:30  A.M.;    53  B.C.,  1906  A.D. 

Use  Small  (i.e.,  "lower-case")  Initial  Letter  for — 

53.  Words  of  common  usage,  originally  proper  names, 
and  their  derivatives,  in  whose  present,  generalized 
acceptation  the  origin  has  become  obscured,  and 
generally  all  verbs  derived  from  proper  names 
(see  i) : 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  CAPITALIZATION  23 

Utopia,  bohemian,  philistine,  titanic,  platonic,  quixotic, 
bonanza,  china,  morocco,  guinea-pig,  boycott,  roman  (t>'pe), 
italicize,  christianize,  anglicize,  macadamize. 

54.  In  literary  references  such  minor  subdivisions  and 

their  abbreviations  as — 

chapter,  section,  page,  article,  verse,  line,  note;  chap.,  sec, 
p.,  art.,  vs.,  1.,  n.     (See  37,  no,  and  237.) 

55.  Units  of  measurement  as — 

h.  =  hour,  min.  =  minute,  sec.=second;  lb.=pound,  oz.= 
ounce;  yd. = yard,  ft.  =  foot;  etc. 

56.  In  italic  side-heads,  all  but  the  first  word  and  proper 
names.     (See  172  and  280.) 

57.  The  first  word  of  a  quotation  which,  through  a  con- 
junction or  otherwise,  is  immediately  connected  with 
what  precedes,  even  if  such  word  in  the  original 
begins  a  sentence. 

For  illustration  and  exception  see  35  and  131. 


24  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 


THE  USE  OF  ITALICS 
Italicize — 

58.  Words  or  phrases  to  which  it  is  desired  to  lend 
emphasis,  importance,  etc.: 

"This  was,  however,  not  the  case";  "It  is  sufi&ciently  plain 
that  the  sciences  of  life,  at  least,  are  studies  of  processes." 

59.  Words  and  phrases  from  foreign  languages,  inserted 
into  the  English  text,  and  not  incorporated  into  the 
English  language;  and  also  (as  a  rule)  single  sen- 
tences or  brief  passages  not  of  sufficient  length  to 
call  for  reduced  type  (see  85) : 

"the  Darwinian  Weltanschaimng";  "Napoleon's  coup  d'etat"; 
"the  debater  par  excellence  of  the  Senate  ";  "De  gustibus  non 
est  disputandum,  or,  as  the  French  have  it,  Chacun  a  son 
gout." 

But  do  not  italicize  foreign  titles  preceding  names, 
or  names  of  foreign  institutions  or  places  the  meaning 
or  position  of  which  in  English  would  have  required 
•  roman  type,  and  which  either  are  without  English 
equivalents  or  are  by  preference  used  in  lieu  of  these: 

Pere  Lagrange,  Freiherr  von  Schwenau;  the  German 
Reichstag,  the  Champs  Elysees,  the  Museo  delle  Terme; 

nor  words  of  everyday  occurrence  which  have  become 
sufficiently  anglicized,  even  though  still  retaining  the 
accents  of  the  original  language:

Note. — The  Botanical  Gazette  uses  italics  for  such  titles  in  the 
text  only;  in  footnotes,  roman.  Its  own  name  it  prints  in  caps 
and  small  caps — Botanical  Gazette. 

This  rule  may  be  departed  from  in  lengthy  bibHo- 
graphical  lists,  in  tables,  or  in  other  matter  where 
to  follow  it  would  result  in  an  undue  preponder- 
ance of  itaHcs.  (See  note  to  41.) 
Books  of  the  Bible,  both  canonical  and  apocryphal, 
and  titles  of  ancient  manuscripts  should  be  set  in 
roman  type.     (See  31  and  44.) 

61.  The  following  words,   phrases,   and  abbreviations 

used  in  literary  and  legal  references:

passim,  sic,  supra,  s.v.,  vide. 

But  do  not  italicize — 

cf.,  e.g.,  i.e.,  V.  (versus),  viz.,  etc. 

62.  The  words  See  and  See  also,  when  used  in  an  index 
or  similar  compilation,  for  the  purpose  of  a  cross- 
reference,  where  the  differentiation  of  those  words 
from  the  context  is  desirable;   and  the  words  for

the  incorrect  and  correct  readings: 
See  also  Sociology;  for  levee  read  levee. 

63.  The  names  of  plaintiff  and  defendant  in  the  citation

64.  Address  lines  in  speeches,  reports,  etc.,  and  primary 

address  lines  in  letters  (set  flush,  in  a  separate  line, 

with  nouns  capitalized  [see  50]) :

Mr.  John  Smith,  321  Dearborn  Street,  Chicago,  III. 
De.\r  Sir:  I  take  pleasure  in  announcing  .... 

65.  In  signatures,  the  position  or  title  added  after  the 
name.  If  this  consists  of  only  one  word,  it  is  run  into 
the  same  line  with  the  name;  if  of  more  than  one, 
but  no  longer  than  the  name,  center  the  first  letter 
under  the  name  line,  and  indent  one  em  on  the 
right;  if  longer  than  the  name,  center  the  name  over 
the  second  line  and  set  this  flush.  These  rules  are, . 
however,  subject  to  the  exigencies  of  special  cases :

MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  ITALICS  29 

In  medical  matter,  however,  the  general  practice 
is  to  print  such  names  in  roman,  avoiding  italics 
altogether.

a)  The  Greek,  Latin,  and  Arabic  names  of  planets, 

satellites,  constellations,  and  individual  stars:

IVIANUAL  OF  STYLE:   QUOTATIONS  31 


QUOTATIONS 

Put  between  Quotation  Marks  (and  in  roman  type — 
i.e.,  "roman-quote") — 

74-  Citations,  run  into  the  text,  of  a  passage  from  an 
author  in  his  own  words.     (See  85.) 

75.  Quotations  from  different  authors,  or  from  different 
works  by  the  same  author,  following  each  other, 
uninterrupted  by  any  intervening  original  matter,  or 
by  any  reference  to  their  respective  sources  (other 
than  a  reference  figure  for  a  footnote),  even  though 
such  quotations  are  reduced.     (See  85-87.) 

76.  A  word  or  phrase  accompanied  by  its  definition: 
"Drop-folio"  means  a  page-number  at  the  foot  of  the  page. 

77.  An  unusual,  technical,  ironical,  etc.,  word  or  phrase 
in  the  text,  whether  or  not  accompanied  by  a  word, 
like  "so-called,"  directing  attention  to  it: 

Her  "five  o' clocks"  were  famous  in  the  neighborhood;  She 
was  wearing  a  gown  of  "lobster-colored"  silk;  He  was  elected 
"master  of  the  rolls";  We  then  repaired  to  what  he  called 
his  "quarter  deck";  A  "lead"  is  then  inserted  between  the 
lines;  This  so-called  "man  of  affairs." 

78.  In  translations,  the  English  equivalent  of  a  word, 
phrase,  or  passage  from  a  foreign  language : 

Weltanschauung,  "world-view"  or  "fundamental  aspect  of

/^ 


32  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

79.  The  particular  word  or  words  to  which  attention  is 
directed : 

the  term  "lynch  law";  the  phrase  "liberty  of  conscience"; 
the  concepts  "good"  and  "bad";   the  name  "Chicago." 

80.  Serial  titles: 

"English  Men  of  Letters"  series;  "International  Critical 
Commentary." 

81.  Titles  of  shorter  poems  (see  60): 
Shelley's  "To  a  Skylark." 

82.  Cited  titles  of  subdivisions  (e.g.,  parts,  books,  chap- 
ters, etc.)  of  publications;  titles  of  papers,  lectures,

quotation  marks  for  such  titles. 

References  to  the  Preface,  Introduction,  Table  of 

Contents,  Index,  etc.,  of  a  specific  work,  should  be 

set  with  capitals,  without  quotation  marks:

MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  QUOTATIONS  33 

84.  Titles  of  pictures  and  works  of  art: 
Murillo's  "The  Holy  Family." 

Set  in  Smaller  Type — 

85.  Ordinarily,  all  prose  extracts  which  will  make  five 
or  more  lines  in  the  smaller  type,  and  all  poetry 
citations  of  two  lines  or  more.  An  isolated  prose 
quotation,  even  though  its  length  would  bring  it 
under  this  rule,  may  properly  be  run  into  the  text,  if 
it  bears  an  organic  relation  to  the  argument  pre- 
sented. On  the  other  hand,  a  quotation  of  one  or 
two  lines  which  is  closely  preceded  or  followed  by 
longer  extracts,  set  in  smaller  type,  may  likewise  be 
reduced,  as  a  matter  of  uniform  appearance. 

86.  As  a  rule,  reduce  from  ii-pt.  and  lo-pt.  to  9-pt., 
from  9-pt.  to  8-pt.,  from  8-pt.  to  6-pt.     (See  252.) 

87*  Reduced  citations  should  not  have  quotation  marks, 
except  in  such  cases  as  noted  in  75 ;  nor  should 
quotation  marks,  as  a  rule,  be  used  in  connection 
with  itahcs. 

General  Rules — 

88.  Quotation  marks  should  always  include  ellipses,  and 

the  phrase  "etc."  when  it  otherwise  would  not  be 

clear  that  it  stands  for  an  omitted  part  of  the  matter 

quoted,   perfect  clearness  in  each   individual  case 

being  the  best  criterion: 

"Art.  II,  sec.  2,  of  the  Constitution  provides  that  'each  state 
shall  appoint  ^^  .  .  .  a  number  of  electors  equal  to  the  whole 


34  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

number  of  senators  and  representatives  .  .  .  .'";  "He  also 
wrote  a  series  of  'Helps  to  Discovery,  etc.'" — "etc."  here 
indicating,  not  that  he  wrote  other  works  which  are  unnamed, 
but  that  the  title  of  the  one  named  is  not  given  in  full;  but, 
on  the  other  hand:    "Preaching  from  the  text,  'For  God  so 

loved    the  world,'   etc " — "etc."   here  being  placed 

outside  of  the  quotation  marks  in  order  to  show  that  it  does 
not  stand  for  other,  unnamed,  objects  of  God's  love. 

89.  Quoted  prose  matter  (i.e.,  matter  set  with  quotation 
marks;  see  above)  which  is  broken  up  into  para- 
graphs should  have  the  quotation  marks  repeated 
at  the  beginning  of  each  paragraph. 

90.  Where  alignment  is  desired,   the  quotation  marks 

should  be  "cleared" — i.e.,  should   project  beyond 

the  line  of  alignment: 

"Keep  away  from  dirtiness — keep  away  from  mess. 
Don't  get  into  doin'  things  rather-more-or-less ! " 

91.  Double  quotation  marks  are  used  for  primary  quota- 
tions; for  a  quotation  within  a  quotation,  single; 
going  back  to  double  for  a  third,  to  single  for  a 
fourth,  and  so  on: 

"The  orator  then  proceeded:  'The  dictionary  tells  us  that 
"the  words,  'freedom'  and  'liberty,'  though  often  inter- 
changed, are  distinct  in  some  of  their  applications."  '  " 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   SPELLING  35 


SPELLING 

Spell  out — 

92.  All  civil  and  military  titles,  and  forms  of  address, 
preceding  the  name,  except  Mr.,  Messrs.,  Mrs. 
(French:  M.,  MM.,  M'"^  M"*^),  Dr.,  Rev.,  Hon. 
{do  not,  except  in  quotations,  set  the  Rev.,  the  Hon.) ; 
Esq.,  following  the  name,  should  likewise  always  be 
abbreviated. 

93.  Christian  names,  as  George,  Charles,  John  (not: 
Geo.,  Chas.,  Jno.),  except  where  the  abbreviated 
form  is  used  in  quoted  matter  or  in  original  signa- 
tures; and  "von"  as  part  of  a  person's  name.  (See 
240.) 

94.  Subject  to  the  exceptions  named  at  the  end  of  this 
section,  in  ordinary  reading-matter,  all  numbers  of 
less  than  three  digits,  unless  of  a  statistical  or 
technical  character,  or  unless  occurring  in  groups 
of  six  or  more  following  each  other  in  close  succes- 
sion: 

"There  are  thirty-eight  cities  in  the  United  States  with  a 
population  of  100,000  or  over";  "a  fifty-yard  dash";  "two 
pounds  of  sugar";  "Four  horses,  sixteen  cows,  seventy -six 
sheep,  and  a  billy  goat  constituted  the  live  stock  of  the  farm"; 
"He  spent  a  total  of  two  years,  three  months,  and  seventeen 
days  in  jaU."  But:  "He  spent  128  days  in  the  hospital"; 
"a  board  20  feet  2  inches  long  by  i^  feet  wide  and  i\  inches

thick";  "the  ratio  of  i6  to  i";  "In  some  quarters  of  Paris, 
inhabited  by  wealthy  families,  the  death-rate  is  i  to  every  65 
persons;  in  others,  inhabited  by  the  poor,  it  is  i  to  15";  "His 
purchase  consisted  of  2  pounds  of  sugar,  20  pounds  of  flour, 
I  pound  of  coffee,  h  pound  of  tea,  3  pounds  of  meat,  and 
1 2  pounds  of  fish,  besides  2  pecks  of  potatoes  and  a  pint  of 
vinegar." 

Treat  all  numbers  in  connected  groups  alike,  as  far 

as  possible;  do  not  use  figures  for  some  and  spell  out 

others;   if  the  largest  contains  three  or  more  digits, 

use  figures  for  all  (see  96) : 

"The  force  employed  during  the  three  months  was  87,  93, 
and  106,  respectively." 

As  a  general  rule,  however,  decimals,  degrees, 
dimensions,  distances,  enumerations,  money,  per- 
centage, weights,  and  Hke  matter  should  be 
expressed  in  figures: 

10°,  45  miles,  3  cubic  feet,  24  pages,  100  bushels,  9  per  cent 
(see  123),  45  pounds,  $1,000,  etc. 

95.  Round   numbers  (i.e.,  approximate  figures  in  even 

units,  the  unit  being  100  in  numbers  of  less  than 

1,000,  and  1,000  in  numbers  of  more) : 

"The  attendance  was  estimated  at  five  hundred"  (but:  "at 
550");  "a  thesis  of  about  three  thousand  words"  (but:  "of 
about  2,700");  "The  population  of  Chicago  is  approximately 
two  millions"  (but:  "1,900,000").  Cases  like  1,500,  if  for 
some  special  reason  spelled  out,  should  be  written  "fifteen 
hundred,"  not  "one  thousand  five  hundred." 

96.  All  numbers,  no  matter  how  high,  commencing  a 
sentence  in  ordinary  reading-matter: 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   SPELLING  37 

"Five  hundred  and  ninety-three  men,  417  women,  and  126 
children  under  eighteen,  besides  63  of  the  crew,  went  down 
with  the  ship." 

When  this  is  impracticable,  or  for  any  reason  unde- 
sirable, reconstruct  the  sentence;   e.g.: 
"The  total  number  of  those  who  went  down  with  the  ship 
was  593  men,"  etc. 

97.  Sums  of  money,  when  occurring  in  isolated  cases  in 
ordinary  reading-matter: 

"The  admission  was  two  dollars." 

When  several  such  numbers  occur  close  together,  and 
in  all  matter  of  a  statistical  character,  use  figures: 
"Admission:  men,  $2;  women.  Si;   children,  25  cents." 

98.  Time  of  day,  in  ordinary  reading-matter: 

at  four;  at  half-past  two  in  the  afternoon;  at  seven  o'clock. 
Statistically,  in  enumerations,  and  always  in  connec- 
tion with  A.M.  and  p.m.,  use  figures: 
at  4: 15  P.M.  (omit  "o'clock"  in  such  connections). 

99.  Ages: 

eighty  years  and  four  months  old;  children  between  six  and 
fourteen. 

100.  Numbers  of  centuries,  of  Egyptian  dynasties,  of 
sessions  of  Congress,  of  military  bodies,  of  political 
divisions,  of  thoroughfares,  and  in  all  similar  cases, 
unless  brevity  is  an  important  consideration  (see 
7,  8,  and  13) : 

nineteenth  century;  Fifth  Dynasty;  Fift}'-fourth  Congress, 
Second  Session;  Fifteenth  Infantry  I.N.G.;  Sixth  Con- 
gressional District,  Second  Ward;   Fifth  Avenue.

10 1.  References  to  particular  decades: 
in  the  nineties. 

102.  Names  of  months,  except  in  statistical  matter  or  in 
long  enumerations: 

from  January  i  to  April  15  (omit,  after  dates,  st,  d,  and  th). 

103.  "United  States,"  except  in  quotations  and  such  con- 
nections as:  General  Schofield,  U.S.A.;  U.S.  SS. 
"  Oregon";  in  footnotes  and  similar  references:  U.S. 
Geological  Survey.     (See  22,  52,  106.) 

104.  "Railroad   (-way),"  and    "Fort,"    "Mount,"   and 

"Port"  in  geographical  appellations  (see  4): 

Chicago,  Milwaukee  &  St.  Paul  Railroad  (not:  R.R.  or  Ry.); 
Fort  Wayne,  Port  Huron,  Mount  Elias. 

105.  In  most  cases,  all  names  of  publications.  This  rule, 
like  many  another,  is  open  to  modification  in  particu- 
lar instances,  for  which  no  directions  can  here  be 
given.  Expediency,  nature  of  context,  authoritative 
usage,  and  author's  preference  are  some  of  the  points 
to  be  considered.  Generally,  if  in  doubt,  spell  out; 
good  taste  will  condone  offenses  in  this  direction 
more  readily  than  in  the  opposite. 

Abbreviate — 

106.  Names  of  states,  territories,  and  possessions  of  the 
United  States  following  those  of  towns,  with  a  few 
exceptions,  as  follows,  without  space  between  the 
letters  of  abbreviations  (see  22,  52, 103) :

42  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

General  Rules — 

112.  In  extracts  from  modern  authors  whose  spelling  and 
punctuation  differ  but  slightly  from  ours,  and  where 
such  variations  do  not  affect  the  meaning,  use  office 
style.  In  citations  from  Old  English  works,  and  in 
such  cases  where  it  appears  to  be  essential  to  the 
writer's  plan  or  the  requirements  of  the  context  to 
give  a  faithful  rendering,  follow  the  original  copy. 
Titles  should  always  be  accurately  quoted. 

113.  Form  the  possessive  of  proper  names  ending  in  s  or 

another   sibilant,    if   monosyllabic,    by   adding   an 

apostrophe  and  s;   if  of  more  than  one  syllable,  by 

adding  an  apostrophe  alone: 

King  James's  Version,  Bums's  poems,  Marx's  theories; 
Moses'  law,  Jesus'  birth,  Demosthenes'  orations,  Berlioz' 
compositions;   for  convenience'  sake. 

114.  Before  sounded  h,  long  u,  and  the  word  "one"  use 

"a"  as  the  form  of  the  indefinite  article: 

a  hotel,  a  harmonic,  a  historical,  a  imion,  [a  euphonious  word], 
such  a  one. 

115.  Do  not  use  ligature  cb  and  (e,  but  separate  the  letters, 
in  quotations  from  Latin,  and  in  anglicized  deriva- 
tives from  Latin,  or  from  Greek  through  Latin, 
where  e  has  not  been  substituted  for  the  diphthong: 

Aurea  prima  sata  est  aetasque,  vindice  nullo, 
sponte  sua,  sine  lege,  fidem  rectumque  colebat; 
poena  metusque  aberant  .... 
the  Aeneid,  Oedipus  Tyrannus,  Caesar,  aesthetic,  subpoena. 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  SPELLING  43 

In  quotations  from  Old  English,  and  from  French 
and  other  modern  languages  it  is  incorrect  to  separate 
the  letters,  and  the  ligature  should  be  retained 
when  following  another  vowel: 

MUred,  AS  hwcete="-w'hea.t";  CEuvres  de  Balzac,  chej-d'ceuvre; 
zooecium. 

i6.  Differentiate  "farther"  and  "further"  by  using  the 

former  in  the  sense  of  "more  remote,"  "at  a  greater 

distance";    the  latter  in  the  sense  of  "moreover," 

"in  addition": 

the  farther  end;  he  went  still  farther;  further,  he  suggested;  a 
further  reason. 

17.  In  forms  of  address  (vocative)  use  the  "O"  without 

a  comma  following;  for  an  exclamation  use  "Oh," 

followed  by  a  comma  (see  40) : 

"O  thou  most  mighty  ruler!"  "Oh,  why  did  not  Cerberus 
drag  me  back  to  hell?" 

18.  The  following  participles,  although  ending  with  a  syl- 
lable beginning  with  a  vowel,  retain  the  final  e  in  the 
primary  word: 

agreeing  hieing  singeing 

dyeing  hoeing  tingeing 

eyeing  shoeing  vieing 

The  following  participles  illustrate  those  that  omit 

the  e  before  the  terminal: 

acknowledging  gluing  judging 

awing  grudging  owing 

bluing  icing  trudging 

encouraging  issuing  truing

MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  PUNCTUATION  47 


PUNCTUATION 

121.  All  punctuation  marks  should  be  printed  in  the  same 

style  or  font  of  type  as  the  word  or  letter  immediately 

preceding  them: 

"With  the  cry  of  Banzai!  the  regiment  stormed  the  hill"; 
Luke  4:160/  No.  I. 

Period — 

122.  A  period  is  used  to  indicate  the  end  of  a  complete 
sentence.     (See  125.) 

123.  Put  a  period  after  all  abbreviations,  except  in  cases 
where  a  mechanical  necessity  compels  the  omission 
of  a  letter  or  letters  in  the  middle  of  a  word  for  which 
there  is  no  recognized  abbreviated  form;  such  omis- 
sion is  indicated  by  an  apostrophe.  Treat  the  metric 
symbols  as  abbreviations,  but  not  the  chemical 
symbols,  nor  the  phrase  "per  cent,"  nor  the  format 
of  books : 

Macmillan  &  Co.,.  Mr.  Smith,  St.  Paul,  No.  i,  Chas.  (see 
93),  ibid.,  S.V.;  10  mm.;  but:  m'f'g  pl't  (= manufacturing 
plant);  O,  Fe;  2  per  cent  (see  94);  4to,  8vo. 

Note. — With  respect  to  symbols  for  measures  the  following 
exceptions  should  be  noted:  Astrophysical  Journal,  12  mm  (with 
thin  space  and  no  period)  (but:  2^  3m  4s);  Botanical  Gazette, 
12  mm.,  125ft.,  9  cc.  (on  line,  with  period).  AstrophysicalJournal 
uses  italics  for  chemical  symbols:  Fe,  CaSO^  (see  71). 

But  do  not  use  a  period,  in  technical  matter,  after  the 
recognized  abbreviations  for  linguistic  epochs,  or 


48  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

for  titles  of  well-known  publications  of  which  the 
initials  only  are  given,  nor  after  MS  (= manuscript) : 
IE  (= Indo-European),  OE  (=01d  English),MHG  (=Middle 
High  Gemian);  AJSL  {= American  Journnl  of  Semitic 
Languages  and  Literatures),  ZAW  {=Zeitschrijt  jilr  alttesta- 
mentliche  Wissenschaft),  CIL  {=Corpus  Inscriptionum  Lati- 
noruni). 

124.  Use  no  period  after  Roman  numerals,  even  if  having 
the  value  of  ordinals: 

Vol.  IV;  Louis  XVI  was  on  the  throne. 

125.  Omit  the  period  after  running-heads  (for  explanation 
of  this  and  the  following  terms  see  279-83);  after 
centered  headlines;  after  side-heads  set  in  separate 
lines;  after  cut-in  heads;  after  box-heads  in  tables; 
and  after  superscriptions  and  legends  which  do  not 
form  a  complete  sentence  (with  subject  and  predi- 
cate) ;  after  date  lines  at  top  of  communications,  and 
after  signatures.     (See  50.) 

126.  The  period  is  placed  inside  the  quotation  marks; 

and  inside  the  parentheses  when  the  matter  inclosed 

is  an  independent  sentence  and  forms  no  part  of 

the  preceding  sentence;  otherwise  outside: 

Tennyson's  "In  Memoriam."  Put  the  period  inside  the 
quotation  marks.  (This  is  a  rule  without  exception.)  When 
the  parentheses  form  part  of  the  preceding  sentence,  put 
the  period  outside  (as,  for  instance,  here). 

Exclamation  Point — 

127.  The  exclamation  point  is  used  to  mark  an  outcry,  or 
an  emphatic  or  ironical  utterance: 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   PUNCTUATION  49 


"Long  live  the  king!"  "Heaven  forbid!"  "Good!"  he 
cried;  "How^  funny  this  seems!"  "This  must  not  be!"  The 
subject  of  his  lecture  was  "The  Thisness  of  the  That" !  The 
speaker  went  on:  "Nobody  should  leave  his  home  tomorrow 
without  a  marked  ballot  in  their  (! )  pocket." 

128.  The  exclamation  point  is  placed  inside  the  quotation 
marks  when  part  of  the  quotation;  otherwise  outside. 
See  illustrations  in  127. 

Interrogation  Point — 

129.  The  interrogation  point  is  used  to  mark  a  query,  or 
to  express  a  doubt: 

"Who  is  this  ?"  The  prisoner  gave  his  name  as  Roger  Crown- 
inshield,  the  son  of  an  English  baronet  ( ? ). 

Indirect  questions,  however,  should  not  be  followed 
by  an  interrogation  point: 
He  asked  whether  he  was  ill. 

130.  The  interrogation  point  should  be  placed  inside  the 
quotation  marks  only  when  it  is  a  part  of  the  quota- 
tion : 

The  question:  "Who  is  who,  and  what  is  what?"  Were 
you  ever  in  "Tsintsinnati"  ? 

Colon — 

131.  The  colon  is  used  to  "mark  a  discontinuity  of 
grammatical  construction  greater  than  that  indicated 
by  the  semicolon  and  less  than  that  indicated  by  the 
period.  It  is  commonly  used  (i)  to  emphasize  a 
close  connection  in  thought  between  two  clauses 
each  of  which  forms  a  complete  sentence,  and  which 


50  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

might  with  grammatical  propriety  be  separated  by 
a  period;  (2)  to  separate  a  clause  which  is  gram- 
matically complete  from  a  second  which  contains 
an  illustration  or  amplification  of  its  meaning;  (3) 
to  introduce  a  formal  statement,  an  extract,  a  speech 
in  a  dialogue,  etc."  {Century  Dictionary)  (unless 
this  is  preceded  by  a  conjunction,  like  "that," 
immediately  connecting  it  with  what  goes  before). 
Before  the  quotation  of  a  clause  in  the  middle  of  a 
sentence  use  a  comma: 

(i)  "This  argument  undeniably  contains  some  force:  Thus 
it  is  well  known  that  .  .  .  ."  "The  secretion  of  the  gland 
goes  on  uninterruptedly:  this  may  account  for  the  condition 
of  the  organ."  "The  fear  of  death  is  universal:  even  the 
lowest  animals  instinctively  shrink  from  annihilation."  (2) 
"Most  countries  have  a  national  flower:  France  the  lily, 
England  the  rose,  etc."  "Lambert  pine:  the  gigantic  sugar 
pine  of  California."  (3)  "The  rule  may  be  stated  thus: 
.  .  .  ."  "We  quote  from  the  address:  .  .  .  ."  "Charles: 
'Where  are  you  going?'  George:  'To  the  mill-pond.'" 
But:  "He  stoutly  maintained  that  'the  letter  is  a  monstrous 
forgery'";  and:  "Declaring,  'The  letter  is  a  monstrous 
forgery,'  he  tried  to  wash  his  hands  of  the  whole  affair." 

132.  The  colon  thus  often  takes  the  place  of  an  implied 
"namely,"  "as  follows,"  "for  instance,"  or  a  similar 
phrase.  Where  such  word  or  phrase  is  used,  it 
should  be  followed  by  a  colon  if  what  follows  consists 
of  one  or  more  grammatically  complete  clauses; 
otherwise,  by  a  comma  (see  145) : 
"This  is  true  of  only  two  nations — the  wealthiest,  though  not 
the  largest,  in  Europe:    Great  Britain  and  France";    but: 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  PUNCTUATION  51 

"This  is  true  of  only  two  nations — the  wealthiest,  though 
not  the  largest,  in  Europe — viz.,  Great  Britain  and  France." 
"He  made  several  absurd  statements.  For  example:.  .  .  ."; 
but:  "There  are  several  states  in  the  Union — for  instance, 
Kansas  and  Wyoming— which  .  .  .  ." 

133.  Put  a  colon  after  the  salutatory  phrase  at  the  begin- 
ning of  a  letter,  and  after  the  introductory  remark 
of  a  speaker  addressing  the  chairman  or  the  audi- 
ence: 

My  dear  Mr.  Brown:     (See  50.) 

Mr.  Chairman,  Ladies  and  Gentlemen:     (See  64.) 

134.  Put  a  colon  between  chapter  and  verse  in  Scripture 
passages,  and  between  hours  and  minutes  in  time 
indications: 

Matt.  2:5-13;  4:30  P.M. 

135.  Put  a  colon  between  the  place  of  publication  and  the 
publisher's  name  in  literary  and  bibliographical 
references : 

Clement  of  Alexandria  (London:  Macmillan),  II,  97. 

136.  The  colon  should  be  placed  outside  the  quotation 

marks,  unless  a  part  of  the  quotation: 

He  writes  under  the  head  of  "Notes  and  Comments": 
"Many  a  man  can  testify  to  the  truth  of  the  old  adage:"  etc. 

Semicolon — 

137.  A  semicolon  is  used  to  mark  the  division  of  a  sentence 

somewhat  more  independent  than  that  marked  by 

a  comma: 

"Are  we  giving  our  lives  to  perpetuate  the  things  that  the 
past  has  created  for  its  needs,  forgetting  to  ask  whether  these 


52  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

things  still  serve  today's  needs;  or  are  we  thinking  of  living 
men  ?"  "This  is  as  important  for  science  as  it  is  for  practice; 
indeed,  it  may  be  said  to  be  the  only  important  consideration." 
"It  is  so  in  war;  it  is  so  in  the  economic  life;  it  cannot  be 
otherwise  in  religion."  "In  Russia  the  final  decision  rests 
with  the  Czar,  advised  by  his  ministers;  in  most  constitutional 
countries,  indirectly  with  the  people  as  represented  in  parlia- 
ment; in  Switzerland  alone,  through  the  referendum,  directly 
with  the  electorate  at  large."  "This,  let  it  be  remembered, 
was  the  ground  taken  by  Mill;  for  to  him  'utilitarianism,' 
in  spite  of  all  his  critics  may  say,  did  not  mean  the  pursuit  of 
bodily  pleasure."  ("For"  in  such  cases  should  commonly  be 
preceded  by  a  semicolon.) 

138.  In  enumerations  use  a  semicolon  between  the  differ- 
ent links,  if  these  consist  of  more  than  a  few  words 
closely  connected,  and  especially  if  individual  clauses 
contain  any  punctuation  mark  of  less  value  than  a 
period,  or  an  exclamation  or  interrogation  point 
(unless  inclosed  in  parentheses),  yet  are  intimately 
joined  one  with  the  other,  and  all  with  the  sentence 
or  clause  leading  up  to  them,  for  instance  through 
dependence  upon  a  conjunction,  like  "that,"  pre- 
ceding them  (see  36) : 

"The  membership  of  the  international  commission  was  made 
up  as  follows:  France,  4;  Germany,  5;  Great  Britain,  i 
(owing  to  a  misunderstanding,  the  announcement  did  not 
reach  the  English  societies  in  time  to  secure  a  full  quota  from 
that  country.  Sir  Henry  Campbell,  who  had  the  matter  in 
charge,  being  absent  at  the  time,  great  difficulty  was  experi- 
enced in  arousing  sufficient  interest  to  insure  the  sending  of 
even  a  solitary  delegate);    Italy,  3;    the  United  States,  7."

"The  defendant,  in  justification  of  his  act,  pleaded  that  (i) 
he  was  despondent  over  the  loss  of  his  wife;  (2)  he  was  out 
of  work;  (3)  he  had  had  nothing  to  eat  for  two  days;  (4)  he 
was  under  the  influence  of  liquor."  "Presidents  Hadley,  of 
Yale;  Eliot,  of  Harvard;  Butler,  of  Columbia;  and  Angell, 
of  Michigan." 

139.  In  Scripture  references  a  semicolon  is  used  to 
separate  passages  containing  chapters: 

Gen.  2:3-6,  9,  14;  3:17;  chap.  5;  6:15. 

140.  The  semicolon  should  be  placed  outside  the  quota- 
tion marks,  unless  a  part  of  the  quotation. 

Comma — 

141.  The  comma  is  "used  to  indicate  the  smallest  inter- 
ruptions in  continuity  of  thought  or  grammatical 
construction,  the  marking  of  which  contributes  to 
clearness"  {Century  Dictionary)'. 

"Here,  as  in  many  other  cases,  what  is  sometimes  popularly 
supposed  to  be  orthodox  is  really  a  heresy,  an  exaggeration, 
a  distortion,  a  caricature  of  the  true  doctrine  of  the  church. 
The  doctrine  is,  indeed,  laid  down  by  an  authority  here  and 
there;  but,  speaking  generally,  it  has  no  place  in  the  stand- 
ards, creeds,  or  confessions  of  the  great  communions;  e.g., 
the  Aposdes'  Creed,  the  Nicene  Creed,  the  canons  of  the  early 
ecumenical  councils,  the  Westminster  Confession,  the  Thirty- 
nine  Articles."  "Shakspere  and  other,  lesser,  poets."  "The 
books  which  I  have  read  I  herewith  return"  (i.e.,  I  return 
those  [only]  which  I  have  read);  but:  "The  books,  which  I 
have  read,  I  herewith  return"  (i.e.,  having  read  them  [all], 
I  now  return  them).     "Gossiping,  women  are  happy";  and: 


54  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

"Gossiping  women  are  happy."  "Of  these  four,  two  Ameri- 
cans and  one  Englishman  started";  and:  "Of  these,  four — 
two  Americans  and  two  Englishmen — started."  "The  suffer- 
ing, God  will  relieve."  "Behind,  her  'stage  mother'  stood 
fluttering  with  extra  wraps."  "Some  boys  and  girls  pre- 
maturely announce  themselves,  usually  in  uncomfortable, 
sometimes  in  bad,  ways." 

142.  Use  a  comma  to  separate  proper  nouns  belonging 
to  different  individuals  or  places: 

"To  John,  Smith  was  always  kind";  "To  America,  Europe 
awards  the  prize  of  mechanical  skill." 

143.  Put  a  comma  before  "and,"  "or,"  and  "nor" 
connecting  the  last  two  links  in  a  sequence  of  three 
or  more;  or  all  the  links  in  a  series  of  greater  length, 
or  where  each  individual  link  consists  of  several 
words;  always  put  a  comma  before  "etc.". 

Tom,  Dick,  and  Harry;  either  copper,  silver,  or  gold;  "He 
was  equally  familiar  with  Homer,  and  Shakespere,  and 
Moliere,  and  Cervantes,  and  Goethe,  and  Ibsen";  "Neither 
France  for  her  art,  nor  Germany  for  her  army,  nor  England 
for  her  democracy,  etc." 

But  do  not  use  a  comma  where  "and,"  etc.,  serves 
to  connect  all  of  the  links  in  a  brief  and  close-knit 
phrase : 

"a  man  good  and  noble  and  true";  "I  do  not  remember  who 
wrote  the  stanza — whether  it  was  Shelley  or  Keats  or  Moore." 

144.  Ordinarily,  put  a  comma  before  and  after  clauses 
introduced  by  such  conjunctions  as  "and,"  "but," 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   PUNCTUATION  55 

"if,"  "while,"  "as,"  "whereas,"  "since,"  "because," 
"when,"  "after,"  "although,"  etc.,  especially  if  a 
change  of  subject  takes  place: 

"When  he  arrived  at  the  railway  station,  the  train  had  gone, 
and  his  friend,  who  had  come  to  bid  him  goodbye,  had 
departed,  but  left  no  word.  As  the  next  train  was  not  due 
for  two  hours,  he  decided  to  take  a  ride  about  the  town, 
although  it  offered  little  of  interest  to  the  sightseer.  While 
he  regretted  his  failure  to  meet  his  friend,  he  did  not  go 
to  his  house." 

But  do  not  use  a  comma  before  clauses  introduced 
by  such  conjunctions  if  the  preceding  clause  is  not 
logically  complete  without  them-;  nor  before  "if," 
"but,"  and  "though"  in  brief  and  close-welded 
phrases : 

"This  is  especially  interesting  because  they  represent  the  two 
extremes  and  because  they  present  differences  in  their  rela- 
tions"; "This  is  good  because  true";  "I  shall  agree  to  this 
only  if  you  accept  my  conditions";  "I  would  not  if  I  could, 
and  could  not  if  I  would";  "honest  though  poor";  "a  cheap 
but  valuable  book." 

145.  Such  conjunctions,  adverbs,  connective  particles,  or 
phrases  as  "now,"  "then,"  "however,"  "indeed," 
"therefore,"  "moreover,"  "furthermore,"  "never- 
theless," "thougli,"  "in  fact,"  "in  short,"  "for 
instance,"  "that  is,"  "of  course,"  "on  the  contrary," 
"on  the  other  hand,"  "after  all,"  "to  be  sure," 
"for  example,"  etc.,  should  be  followed  by  a  comma 
when  standing  at  the  beginning  of  a  sentence  or 
clause  to  introduce  an  inference  or  an  explanation. 


56  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

and  should  be  placed  between  commas  when  wedged 
into  the  middle  of  a  sentence  or  clause  to  mark  off  a 
distinct  break  in  the  continuity  of  thought  or  struc- 
ture, indicating  a  summarizing  of  what  precedes, 
the  point  of  a  new  departure,  or  a  modifying,  restrict- 
ive, or  antithetical  addition,  etc.: 

"Indeed,  this  was  exactly  the  point  of  the  argument"; 
"Moreover,  he  did  not  think  it  feasible";  "Now,  the  question 
is  this:  .  .  .  ."  "Nevertheless,  he  consented  to  the  scheme"; 
"In  fact,  rather  the  reverse  is  true";  "This,  then,  is  my 
position:  ....";  "The  statement,  therefore,  cannot  be 
verified";  "He  thought,  however,  that  he  would  like  to 
try";  "That,  after  all,  seemed  a  trivial  matter";  "The  gen- 
tleman, of  course,  was  wrong." 

But  do  not  use  a  comma  with  such  words  when  the 

connection  is  logically  close  and  structurally  smooth 

enough  not  to  call  for  any  pause  in  reading;    with 

''therefore,"    "nevertheless,"    etc.,    when    directly 

following  the  verb;    with  "indeed"  when  directly 

preceding  or    following   an    adjective    or    another 

adverb  which  it  qualifies;   nor  ordinarily  with  such 

terms  as  "perhaps,"  "also,"  "hkewise,"  etc.: 

"Therefore  I  say  unto  you  ....";  "He  was  therefore 
unable  to  be  present";  "It  is  nevertheless  true";  "He  is 
recovering  very  slowly  indeed";  "He  was  perhaps  thinking 
of  the  future";  "He  was  a  scholar  and  a  sportsman  too." 

146.  A  comma  is  preferably  omitted  before  "rather"  in 
such  an  expression  as — 

"The  time-value  is  to  be  measured  in  this  way  rather  than 
by  the  time-equivalent  of  the  strata." 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  PUNCTUATION  57 

[47.  If  among  several  adjectives  preceding  a  noun  the 
last  bears  a  more  direct  relation  to  the  noun  than  the 
others,  it  should  not  be  preceded  by  a  comma: 

"the  admirable  political  institutions  of  the  country";  "a  hand- 
some, wealthy  young  man." 

[48.  Participial  clauses,  especially  such  as  contain  an 
explanation  of  the  main  clause,  should  usually  be 
set  off  by  a  comma: 

"Being  asleep,  he  did  not  hear  him";  "Exhausted  by  a  hard 
day's  work,  he  slept  like  a  stone." 

[49.  Put  a  comma  before  "not"  introducing  an  anti- 
thetical clause: 

"Men  addict  themselves  to  inferior  pleasures,  not  because 
they  deliberately  prefer  them,  but  because  they  are  the  only 
ones  to  which  they  have  access." 

[50.  For  parenthetical,  adverbial,  or  appositional  clauses 
or  phrases  use  commas  to  indicate  structurally 
disconnected,  but  logically  integral,  interpolations; 
dashes  to  indicate  both  structurally  and  logically 
disconnected  insertions;  never  use  the  two  together 
(see  175): 

"Since,  from  the  naturalistic  point  of  view,  mental  states  are 
the  concomitants  of  physiological  processes  .  .  .  .";  "The 
French,  generally  speaking,  are  a  nation  of  artists";  "The 
English,  highly  democratic  as  they  are,  nevertheless  deem 
the  nobility  fundamental  to  their  political  and  social  systems." 
"There  was  a  time — I  forget  exact  date — when  these  condi- 
tions were  changed." 


58  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

151.  Use  a  comma  to  separate  two  identical  or  closely    ' 
similar  words,  even  if  the  sense  or  grammatical  con- 
struction does  not  require  such  separation  (see  142) : 

"Whatever  is,  is  good";    "What  he  was,  is  not  known";    ■ 
"The  chief  aim  of  academic  striving  ought  not  to  be,  to  be 
most  in  evidence";  "This  is  unique  only  in  this,  that  .  .  .  ." 

152.  In  adjectival  phrases,  a  complementary,  qualifying, 

delimiting,  or  antithetical  adjective  added  to  the 

main  epithet  preceding  a  noun  should  be  preceded 

and  followed  by  a  comma: 

"This  harsh,  though  perfectly  logical,  conclusion";    "The 
deceased  was  a  stem  and  unapproachable,  yet  withal  sym- 
pathetic and  kind-hearted,  gentleman";  "Here  comes  in  the 
most  responsible,  because  it  is  the  final,  office  of  the  teacher";    l 
"The  most  sensitive,  if  not  the  most  elusive,  part  of  the'! 
training  of  children." 

153.  Two  or  more  co-ordinate  clauses  ending  in  a  word 

governing  or  modifying  another  word  in  a  following 

clause  should  be  separated  by  commas : 

".  .  .  .  a  shallow  body  of  water  connected  with,  but  wellj 
protected  from,  the  open  sea";  "He  was  as  tall  as,  though 
much  younger  than,  his  brother";  "The  cultivation  in  our- 
selves of  a  sensitive  feeling  on  the  subject  of  veracity  is  one  of ' 
the  most  useful,  and  the  enfeeblement  of  that  feeling  one  of 
the  most  hurtful,  things";  "This  road  leads  away  from, 
rather  than  toward,  your  destination." 

154.  Similarly,  use  a  comma  to  separate  two  numbers: 

"In  1905,  347  teachers  attended  the  convention";  November 
I,  1905.     (See  160.) 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   PUNCTUATION  59 


155.  A  comma  is  employed  to  indicate  the  omission,  for 
brevity  or  convenience,  of  a  word  or  words  the 
repetition  of  which  is  not  essential  to  the  meaning : 
"In  Illinois  there  are  seventeen  such  institutions;  in  Ohio, 
twenty-two;  in  Indiana,  thirteen" ;  "In  Lincoln's  first  cabinet 
Seward  was  secretary  of  state;  Chase,  of  the  treasury; 
Cameron,  of  war;  and  Bates,  attorney-general." 

Often,  however,  such  constructions  are  smooth 
enough  not  to  call  for  commas  (and  consequent 
semicolons) : 

"One  puppy  may  resemble  the  father,  another  the  mother, 
and  a  third  some  distant  ancestor." 

156.  A  direct  quotation,  maxim,  or  similar  expression, 
when  brief,  should  be  separated  from  the  preceding 
part  of  the  sentence  by  a  comma  (see  131) : 

"  God  said,  Let  there  be  light." 

157.  Use  a  comma  before  "of"  in  connection  with  resi- 
dence or  position: 

Mr.  and  Mrs.  Mclntyre,  of  Detroit,  Mich.;  President  Hadley, 
of  Yale  University. 

Exceptions  are  those  cases,  historical  and  political,  in 
which  the  place-name  practically  has  become  a  part 
of  the  person's  name,  or  is  so  closely  connected  with 
this  as  to  render  the  separation  artificial  or  illogical : 
Clement  of  Alexandria,  Philip  of  Anjou,  King  Edward  of 
England. 

158.  Do  not  use  a  comma  between  consecutive  pages  in 
literary  references,  but  use  the  en-dash  (see  173) ; 


I 


60  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

an  exception  may,  however,  be  made  in  the  case  of 

scriptural  references: 

pp.  4,  7-8,  10;   Ezra  5:7-8  (or  Ezra  5:7,  8). 

159.  Put   a   comma   after   digits   indicating  thousands, 

except  when  used  as  a  date  or  in  a  page-reference: 

1,276,  10,419;  January,  1909;  p.  2461. 

Note. — Astrophysical  Journal  and  Botanical  Gazette  do  not 
use  a  comma  with  four  figures. 

160.  Separate  month  and  year,  and  similar  time  divisions 
by  a  comma :  | 
November,  1905;  New  Year's  Day,  1906. 

Note. — Astrophysical  Journal  and  Botanical  Gazette  do  not 
use  a  comma  between  month  and  year.  ^^ 

161.  Omit  the  comma,  in  signatures  and  at  the  beginning 

of  articles,  after  author's  name  followed  by  address, 

title,  or  position  in  a  separate  line,  or  after  address       |

Apostrophe —  I 

163.  An  apostrophe  is  used  to  mark  the  omission  of  a 

letter  or  letters  in  the  contraction  of  a  word,  or  of 

figures  in  a  number: 


i

IVIANUAL  OF  STYLE:  PUNCTUATION  6i 

ne'er,  don't,  'twas,  "takin'  me  'at";  m'f'g;  the  class  of  '96. 
(See  123.) 

164.  The  possessive  case  of  nouns,  common  and  proper, 

is  formed  by   the  addition  of  an  apostrophe,  or 

apostrophe  and  j  (see  113): 

a  man's,  horses'  tails;  Scott's  Ivanhoe,  Jones's  farms,  Themis- 
tocles'  era;   for  appearance'  sake. 

165.  The  plural  of  numerals,  and  of  rare  or  artificial  noun- 
coinages,  is  formed  by  the  aid  of  an  apostrophe  and 
s;  of  proper  nouns  of  more  than  one  syllable  ending 
in  a  sibilant,  by  adding  an  apostrophe  alone  (mono- 
syllabic proper  names  ending  in  a  sibilant  add  es; 
others,  s) : 

in  the  1900's;  in  two's  and  three's,  the  three  R's,  the 
Y.M.C.A.'s;  "these  I-just-do-as-I-please's";  "all  the  Tommy 
Atkins'  of  England"  (but:  the  Rosses  and  the  Macdougals); 
the  Pericles'  and  Socrates'  of  literature. 

Quotation  Marks.  (See  section  on  "Quotations," 
74-91.) 

Dashes — 

166.  A  dash  is  used  to  denote  "a  sudden  break,  stop,  or 

transition  in  a  sentence,  or  an  abrupt  change  in  its 

construction,   a   long   or   significant   pause,    or   an 

unexpected   or   epigrammatic   turn  of  sentiment" 

(John  Wilson) : 

"Do  we — can  we — send  out  educated  boys  and  girls  from  the 
high  school  at  eighteen  ?"  "The  Platonic  world  of  the  static, 
and  the  Hegelian  world  of  process — how  great  the  contrast!" 
"  'Process' — that  is  the  magic  word  of  the  modem  period"; 


62  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

"To  be  or  not  to  be — that  is  the  question";  "Christianity 
found  in  the  Roman  Empire  a  civic  life  which  was  implicated 
by  a  thousand  roots  with  pagan  faith  and  cultus — a  state 
which  offered  little." 

167.  Use  dashes  (rarely  parentheses — see  177)  for  par- 
enthetical clauses  which  are  both  logically  and 
structurally  independent  interpolations  (see  150) : 

"This  may  be  said  to  be— but,  never  mind,  we  will  pass  over 
that";  "There  came  a  time— let  us  say,  for  convenience,  with 
Herodotus  and  Thucydides — when  this  attention  to  actions 
was  conscious  and  deliberate";  "If  it  be  asked — and  in  say- 
ing this  I  but  epitomize  my  whole  contention — why  the 
Mohammedan  religion  .  .  .  ." 

168.  A  clause  added  to  lend  emphasis  to,  or  to  explain  or 

expand,  a  word  or  phrase  .occurring  in  the  main 

clause,  which   word   or   phrase   is   then   repeated, 

should  be  introduced  by  a  dash: 

"To  him  they  are  more  important  as  the  sources  for  history — ■ 
the  history  of  events  and  ideas";  "Here  we  are  face  to  face 
with  a  new  and  difficult  problem — new  and  difficult,  that  is, 
in  the  sense  that  .  .  .  ." 

169.  Wherever  a  "namely"  is  implied  before  a  paren- 
thetical or  complementary  clause,  a  dash  should 
preferably  be  used  (see  132) : 

"These  discoveries — gunpowder,  printing-press,  compass, 
and  telescope — were  the  weapons  before  which  the  old  science 
trembled";  "But  here  we  are  trenching  upon  another  division 
of  our  field — the  interpretation  of  New  Testament  books." 

170.  In  sentences  broken  up  into  clauses,  the  final — 
summarizing — clause  should  be  preceded  by  a  dash : 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   PUNCTUATION  63 

"Amos,  with  the  idea  that  Jehovah  is  an  upright  judge 
.  .  .  .  ;  Hosea,  whose  Master  hated  injustice  and  falsehood 
.  .  .  .  ;  Isaiah,  whose  Lord  would  have  mercy  only  on  those 
who  relieved  the  widow  and  the  fatherless — these  were  the 
spokesmen  .  .  .  ." 

171.  A  word  or  phrase  set  in  a  separate  line  and  succeeded 

by  paragraphs,  at  the  beginning  of  each  of  which  it 

is  impHed,  should  be  followed  by  a  dash : 

"I  recommend — 
"i.  That  we  kill  him. 
"2.  That  we  flay  him." 

172.  A  dash  should  be  used  in  connection  with  side-heads, 

whether  "run  in"  or  paragraphed: 

2.  The  language  0}  the  New  Testament. — The  lexicons 
of  Grimm-Thayer,  Cremer,  and  others  .... 

Note. — The  above  has  been  taken  from  .... 

Biblical  Criticism  in  Other  Denominations — 

A  most  interesting  article  appeared  in   the  Expository 
Times  .... 

173.  Use  a  dash  in  place  of  the  word  "to"  connecting 

two  words  or  numbers: 

May-July,  1906  (en-dash);  May  i,  1905 — November  i,  1906 
(em-dash);   pp.  3-7  (en-dash);  Luke  3:6 — 5:2  (em-dash). 

In  connecting  consecutive  numbers,  omit  hundreds 
from  the  second  number — i.e.,  use  only  two  figures 
— unless  the  first  number  ends  in  two  ciphers,  in 
which  case  repeat;  if  the  next  to  the  last  figure  in 
the  first  number  is  a  cipher,  do  not  repeat  this  in  the 
second  number;   but  in  citing  dates  B.C.,  always 


64  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

repeat  the  hundreds  (because  representing  a  dimi- 
nution, not  an  increase): 
i88a-9S,  pp.  113-16;  1900-1906,  pp.  102-7;  387-324  B.C. 

Note. — The  Astrophysical  Journal  and  Botanical  Gazette  re- 
peat the  hundreds:     1880-1895,  pp.  113-116. 

174.  Let  a  dash  precede  the  reference  (author,  title  of 

work,  or  both)  following  a  direct  quotation,  consisting 

of  at  least  one  complete  sentence,  in  footnotes  or 

cited  independently  in  the  text  (see  85) : 

'  "I  felt  an  emotion  of  the  moral  sublime  at  beholding 
such  an  instance  of  civic  heroism." — Thirty  Years,  I,  379. 

The  green  grass  is  growing 

The  morning  wind  is  in  it, 
'Tis  a  time  worth  the  knowing 

Though  it  change  every  minute. 

— Emerson,  "To  Ellen,  at  the  South." 

175.  A  dash  should  not  ordinarily  be  used  in  connection 

with  any  other  point,  except  a  period : 

"Dear  Sir:  I  have  the  honor  .  .  .  .";  not:  "Dear  Sir: — 
I  have  .  .  .  .";  "This — I  say  it  with  regret — was  not  done"; 
not:   "This, — I  say  it  with  regret, — was  .  .  .  ." 

Parentheses — 

176.  Place  between  parentheses  figures  or  letters  used  to 

mark  divisions  in  enumerations  run  into  the  text: 

"The  reasons  for  his  resignation  were  three:  (i)  advanced 
age,  (2)  failing  health,  (3)  a  desire  to  travel." 

If  such  divisions  are  paragraphed,  a  single  paren- 
thesis is  ordinarily  used  in  connection  with  a  lower- 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  PUNCTUATION  65 

case  (italic)  letter;  a  period,  with  figures  and  capital 
(roman)  letters.  In  syllabi,  and  matter  of  a  similar 
character,  the  following  scheme  of  notation  and 
indention  should  ordinarily  be  adhered  to: 

A.  Under  the  head  of  ...  . 

I.  Under  .... 

1.  Under  .... 

a)  Under  .... 

(i)  Under  .... 

(a)  Under  ....

(b)  Under  .... 
(2)  Under  .... 

b)  Under  .... 

2.  Under  .... 

II.  Under  .... 

B.  Under  the  head  of  ...  . 

177.  Parentheses  should  not  ordinarily  be  used  for  paren- 
thetical clauses  (see  150  and  167)  unless  confusion 
might  arise  from  the  use  of  less  distinctive  marks,  or 
unless  the  content  of  the  clause  is  wholly  irrelevant 
to  the  main  argument : 

"He  meant — I  take  this  to  be  the  (somewhat  obscure)  sense 
of  his  speech — that  ....";  "The  period  thus  inaugurated 
(of  which  I  shall  speak  at  greater  length  in  the  next  chapter) 
was  characterized  by  .  .  .  .";  "The  contention  has  been 
made  {op.  cit.)  that  .  .  .  ." 

Brackets — 

178.  Brackets  are  used  (i)  to  inclose  an  explanation  or 
note,  (2)  to  indicate  an  interpolation  in  a  quotation, 


66  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

(3)  to  rectify  a  mistake,  (4)  to  supply  an  omission, 
and  (5)  for  parentheses  within  parentheses: 

(i)  '  [This  was  written  before  the  publication  of  Spencer's

(2)  "These  [the  free-silver  Democrats]  asserted  that  the 
present  artificial  ratio  can  be  maintained  indefinitely."

(5)  Grote,  the  great  historian  of  Greece  (see  his  History, 
I,  204  [second  edition]),  .... 

179.  Such  phrases  as  "  To  be  continued,''''  at  the  end,  and 

^^  Continued    from  .  .  .  ."    at     the    beginning,    of 

articles,  chapters,  etc.,  should  be  placed   between 

brackets,  centered,  and  set  in  italics  (see  73)  and  in 

type  reduced  in  size  in  accordance  with  the  rule 

governing  reductions  (see  86) : 

{Continued  from  p.  320] 
[To  be  concluded] 

Ellipses — 

180.  ElHpses  are  used  to  indicate  the  omission,  from  a 
quotation,  of  one  or  more  words  not  essential  to 
the  idea  which  it  is  desired  to  convey,  and  also 
to  indicate  illegible  words,  mutilations,  and  other 
lacunae  in  a  document,  IMS,  or  other  material  which 
is  quoted.  For  an  elhpsis  at  the  beginning,  in  the 
middle,  or  at  the  end  of  a  sentence  four  periods, 
separated  by  a  space  (en-quad),  should  ordinarily 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  PUNCTUATION  67 

be  used,  except  in  very  narrow  measures.  If  the 
preceding  line  ends  in  a  point,  this  should  not  be 
included  in  the  four.  Where  a  whole  paragraph,  or 
paragraphs,  or,  in  poetry,  a  complete  line,  or  lines, 
are  omitted,  insert  a  full  line  of  periods,  separated 
by  em-  or  2-em  quads,  according  to  the  length  of 
the  line.  But  the  periods  should  not  extend  beyond 
the  length  of  the  longest  type-line: 

The  point  ....  is  that  the  same  forces  ....  are  still 

the  undercurrents  of  every  human  life We  may  never 

unravel  the  methods  of  the  physical  forces;  ....  but  .... 

I  think  it  worth  giving  you  these  details,  because  it  is  a 
vague  thing,  though  a  perfectly  true  thing,  to  say  that  it  was 
by  his  genius  that  Alexander  conquered  the  eastern  world. 

His  army,  you  know,  was  a  small  one.  To  carry  a  vast 
number  of  men  .... 

....  he  sought  the  lumberer's  gang, 
Where  from  a  hundred  lakes  young  rivers  sprang; 

Through  these  green  tents,  by  eldest  nature  drest, 
He  roamed,  content  alike  with  man  and  beast. 

181.  An  ellipsis  should  be  treated  as  a  part  of  the  citation; 
consequently  should  be  inclosed  in  the  quotation 
marks  (see  178  [3]). 

Hyphens— 

182.  A  hyphen  is  placed  at  the  end  of  a  line  terminating 
with  a  syllable  of  a  word,  the  remainder  of  which 
is  carried  to  the  next  line  (see  section  on  "  Divisions") 
and  between  many  compound  words. 


68  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

183.  Hyphenate  two  or  more  words  (except  proper  names 

forming  a  unity  in  themselves)  combined  into  one 

adjective  preceding  a  noun: 

so-called  Croesus,  well-known  author,  first-class  investment, 
better-trained  teachers,  high-school  course,  half-dead  horse, 
never-ceasing  strife,  much-mooted  question,  joint-stock  com- 
pany, English-speaking  peoples,  nineteenth-century  progress, 
white-rat  serum,  up-to-date  machinery,  four-year-old  boy, 
house-to-house  canvass,  go-as-you-please  fashion,  deceased- 
wife's-sister  bill;  but:  New  Testament  times.  Old  English 
speUing. 

Where  such  words  are  set  in  capitals  (e.g.,  in  head- 
lines), or  where  one  of  the  components  contains  more 
than  one  word,  an  en-dash  should  be  used  in  place 
of  a  hyphen : 

FRANCO-PRUSSIAN  WAR;   New  York-Chicago  freight 

traffic. 

But  do  not  connect  by  a  hyphen  adjectives  or  par- 
ticiples with  adverbs  ending  in  "-ly";  nor  such 
combinations  as  the  above  when  following  the  noun, 
or  qualifying  a  predicate: 

highly  developed  species;  a  man  well  known  in  the  neighbor- 
hood; the  fly-leaf,  so  called;  "Her  gown  and  carriage  were 
strictly  up  to  date." 

184.  Hyphenate,  as  a  rule,  nouns  formed  by  the  combina- 
tion of  two  nouns  standing  in  objective  relation  to 
each  other — that  is,  one  of  whose  components  is 
derived  from  a  transitive  verb:

mind-reader,  story-teller,  fool-killer,  office-holder,  well-wisher, 
property-owner;  hero-worship,  child-study;  wood-turning, 
clay-modeling. 

Exceptions  are  such  common  and  brief  compounds 

as — 

lawgiver,  taxpayer,  proofreader,  bookkeeper,  stockholder. 

185.  A  present  participle  united  (i)  with  a  noun  to  form  a 
new  noun  with  a  meaning  different  from  that  which 
would  be  conveyed  by  the  two  words  taken  separately, 
(2)  with  a  preposition  used  absolutely  (i.e.,  not  gov- 
erning a  following  noun),  to  form  a  noun,  should 
have  a  hyphen: 

boarding-house,  dining-hall,  sleeping-room,  dwelling-place, 
printing-office,  walking-stick,  starting-point,  stepping-stone, 
stumbling-block,  working-man;  the  putting-in  or  taking-out 
of  a  hyphen. 

186.  As  a  general  rule,  compounds  of  "book,"  "house," 
"mill,"  "room,"  "shop,"  and  "work"  should  be 
printed  as  one  compact  word,  without  a  hyphen, 
when  the  prefixed  noun  contains  only  one  syllable, 
should  be  hyphenated  when  it  contains  two,  and 
should  be  printed  as  two  separate  words  when  it 
contains  three  or  more: 

handbook,    schoolbook,    notebook,    textbook;    pocket-book, 

story-book;   reference  book. 

boathouse,  clubhouse,  schoolhouse,  storehouse;  engine-house, 

power-house;  business  house.

recitation  room. 

tinshop,  workshop;    bucket-shop,  tailor-shop;    policy  shop, 
handwork,  woodwork;   metal -work;   filigree  work 

Exceptions  are  rare  combinations,  and  such  as  for 
appearance'  sake  would  better  be  separated: 
source-book,  wheat-mill,  school  work. 

187.  Compounds  of  "maker,"  "dealer,"  and  other  words 
denoting  occupation  should  ordinarily  be  hyphen- 
ated; likewise  nouns  denoting  different  occupations 
of  the  same  individual: 

harness-maker,  book-dealer,  job-printer  (see  184);   a  soldier- 
statesman,  the  poet-artist  Rossetti. 

Exceptions   are    a    few    short   words   of   everyday 
occurrence :  ^ 

bookmaker,  dressmaker. 

188.  Compounds  of  "store"  should  be  hyphenated  when 

the  prefix  contains  only  one  syllable;  otherwise  not: 

drug-store,  feed-store  (but:    bookstore);    grocery  store,  dry- 
goods  store. 

189.  Compounds  of  "fellow"  are  always  hyphenated:

190.  Compounds    of    "father,"    "mother,"     "brother," 

"sister,"  "daughter,"  "parent,"  and  "foster"  should 

be  hyphenated: 

father-love  (but:   fatherland),  mother-tongue,  brother-officer, 
sister-nation,  foster-son,  daughter-cells  parent-word. 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   PUNCTUATION  7 1 

191.  Compounds  of  "great,"  indicating  the  fourth  degree 
in  a  direct  line  of  descent,  call  for  a  hyphen: 
great-grandfather,  great-grandson. 

192.  Compounds  of  "life  "and  "  world  "  require  a  hyphen : 

life-history,  life-principle  (but:  lifetime),  world-power,  world- 
problem. 

193.  Compounds  of  "skin"  with  words  of  one  syllable 
are  to  be  printed  as  one  word;  with  words  of  more 
than  one,  as  two  separate  words: 

calfskin,  sheepskin;  alligator  skin. 

194.  Compounds  of  "master"  should  be  hyphenated: 
master-builder,  master-stroke  (exception:   masterpiece). 

195.  Compounds  of  "god": 
sun-god,  rain-god. 

196.  "Half,"  "quarter,"  etc.,  combined  with  a  noun 
should  be  followed  by  a  hyphen: 

half-truth,  half-tone,  half-year,  half-title,  quarter-mile. 

197.  "Semi,"  "demi,"  "bi,"  "tri,"  etc.,  do  not  ordinarily 
demand  a  hyphen: 

semiannual,  demigod,  demiurge,  biweekly,  bipartisan,  bichro- 
mate, bimetallist,  trimonthly,  tricolor,  trifoliate. 

Exceptions  are  long  or  unusual  formations: 

semi-centennial,  demi-relievo. 

198.  Compounds  of  "self"  are  hyphenated: 
self-evident,  self-respect. 


72  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

199.  Combinations  with  "fold"  are  to  be  printed  as  one 
word  if  the  number  contains  only  one  syllable;  if  it 
contains  more,  as  two: 

twofold,  tenfold;   fifteen  fold,  a  hundred  fold. 

200.  Adjectives  formed  by  the  sufhxation  of  "like"  to 

a  noun  are  usually  printed  as  one  word  if  the  noun 

contains  only  one  syllable  (except  when  ending  in 

l);   if  it  contains  more  (or  is  a  proper  noun),  they 

should  be  hyphenated: 

childlike,    homelike,    warlike,    godlike;     eel-like,    bell-Hke; 
woman-like,  business-like;    American-Hke  (but:    Christlike). 

201.  "Vice,"  "ex-,"  "elect,"  "general,"  and  "lieutenant," 

constituting   parts   of   titles,    should   be   connected 

with  the  chief  noun  by  a  hyphen: 

Vice-Consul  Taylor,  ex-President  Cleveland,  the  governor- 
elect,  the  postmaster-general,  a  lieutenant-colonel. 

202.  Compounds  of  "by-"  should  be  hyphenated:

203.  The  prefixes  "co-,"  "pre-,"  and  "re-,"  when  followed 
by  the  same  vowel  as  that  in  which  they  terminate, 
take  a  hyphen;  but,  as  a  rule,  they  do  not  when  fol- 
lowed by  a  different  vowel  or  by  a  consonant: 
co-operation,  pre-empted,  re-enter;  but:  coequal,  coeduca- 
tion, prearranged,  reinstal;  cohabitation,  prehistoric, 
recast  (re-read). 

Note. — The  Botanical  Gazette  prints:   cooperate,  reenter,  etc. 

Exceptions  are  combinations  with  proper  names,  long 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  PUNCTUATION  73 

or  unusual  formations,  and  words  in  which  the 
omission  of  the  hyphen  would  convey  a  meaning 
different  from  that  intended  (cf .  9,  19,  208) : 

pre-Raphaelite,  re-tammanize;  re-postpone,  re-pulverization; 
re-formation  (as  distinguished  from  reformation),  re-cover 
(= cover  again),  re-creation. 

204.  Omit    the    hyphen    from    "today,"    "tomorrow," 
"tonight,"  "viewpoint,"  "standpoint."     (See  119.) 

205.  The  negative  particles  "un-,"  "in-,"  and  "a-"  do 

not  usually  require  a  hyphen: 

vmmanly,  undemocratic,  inanimate,  indeterminate,  illimitable, 
impersonal,  asymmetrical. 

Exceptions  would  be  rare  and  artificial  combinations. 

The  particle  "non-,"  on  the  contrary,  ordinarily  calls 

for  a  hyphen,  except  in  the  commonest  words: 

non-aesthetic,  non-subservient,  non-contagious,  non-ability, 
non-interference,  non-imionist,  non-membership;  but:  nonage, 
nondescript,  nonessential,  nonplus,  nonsense,  noncombatant. 

206.  "Quasi"  prefixed  to  a  noun  or  an  adjective  requires 
a  hyphen: 

quasi-corporation ,  quasi-his torical . 

207.  "Over"  and  "under"  prefixed  to  a  word  should  not 

be  followed  by  a  hyphen,  except  in  rare  cases  (lengthy 

words,  etc.) : 

overbold,  overemphasize,  overweight,  underfed,  underestimate, 
undersecretary;  but:  over-soul,  under-man,  over-spiritualistic,

74  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 


208.  The  Latin  prepositions  "ante,"  "anti,"  "inter," 
"intra,"  "post,"  "sub,"  and  "super"  prefixed  to  a 
word  do  not  ordinarily  require  a  hyphen: 

antedate,  antechamber,  antediluvian,  antidote,  antiseptic  (but: 
anti-imperialistic— cf.  203),  international,  interstate,  inter- 
city, intramural  (but:  intra-atomic),  postscript,  postgradu- 
ate, postprandial,  subconscious,  submarine,  subtitle,  subway,

ante-bellum,  ante-Nicene,  anti-Semitic,  inter-university,  post- 
revolutionary. 

209.  "Extra,"  "infra,"  "supra,"  and  "ultra"  as  a  rule 

call  for  a  hyphen: 

extra-hazardous,  infra-mundane,  supra-temporal,  ultra-con- 
servative (but:  Ultramontane). 

210.  In  fractional  numbers,  spelled  out,  connect  by  a 
hyphen  the  numerator  and  the  denominator,  unless 
either  already  contains  a  hyphen: 

"The  year  is  hvo-thirds  gone";'  four  and  five-sevenths; 
thirty-hundredths;  but:  thirty-one  hundredths. 

But  do  not  hyphenate  in  such  cases  as — 

"One  half  of  his  fortune  he  bequeathed  to  his  widow;  the 
other,  to  charitable  institutions." 

211.  In  the  case  of  two  or  more  compound  words  occurring 
together,  which  have  one  of  their  component  elements 
in  common,  this  element  is  frequently  omitted  from 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   PUNCTUATION  75 

all  but  the  last  word,  and  its  implication  should  be 
indicated  by  a  hyphen : 

in  English-  and  German-speaking  countries;  one-,  five-,  and 
ten-cent  pieces;  "If  the  student  thinks  to  find  this  character 
where  many  a  literary  critic  is  searching — in  fifth-  and  tenth- 
century  Europe — he  must  not  look  outside  of  manuscript  tra- 
dition." 

Note. — Some  writers  regard  this  hyphen  as  an  objectionable 
Teutonism. 

212.  A  hyphen  is  used  to  indicate  a  prefix  or  a  sufifix,  as  a 
particle  or  syllable,  not  complete  in  itself: 

"The  prefix  a-"/  "The  German  diminutive  suffixes  -chen 
and  -lein  " 

213.  A  hyphen  is  employed  to  indicate  the  syllables  of  a 
word: 

di-a-gram,  pho-tog-ra-phy. 

214.  Following  is  a  list  of  words  of  everyday  occurrence 
which  should  be  hyphenated,  and  which  do  not  fall 
under  any  of  the  above  classifications:

DIVISIONS 

215.  Avoid  all  unnecessary  divisions  of  words.  Wherever 
consistent  with  good  spacing,  carry  the  whole  word 
over  into  the  next  line. 

216.  Do  not,  in  wide  measures  (20  ems  or  more),  divide 
on  a  syllable  of  two  letters,  if  possible  to  avoid 
it.  Good  spacing,  however,  is  always  paramount. 
Words  of  four  letters — like  on-ly — should  never  be 
divided;  words  of  five  or  six — like  oc-cur,  o}-fice, 
let-ter,  rare-ly — rarely. 

217.  Never  let  more  than  two  consecutive  lines  termi- 
nate in  a  hyphen,  if  at  all  avoidable.  The  next  to 
the  last  line  in  a  paragraph  ought  not  to  end  in  a 
divided  word;  and  the  last  line  (the  "breakline") 
should,  in  measures  of  15  ems  and  up,  contain  at 
least  four  letters.  Similarly,  try  to  avoid  a  divided 
word  at  the  bottom  of  a  right  hand  (recto)  page. 

218.  Do  not  divide  proper  nouns,  especially  names  of 
persons,  unless  absolutely  necessary. 

219.  Do  not  separate  (i.e.,  put  in  different  lines)  the 
initials  of  a  name,  or  such  combinations  as  a.d., 
P.M.,  etc. 

220.  Avoid  the  separation  of  a  divisional  mark,  e.g.,  {a) 
or  (i),  in  the  middle  of  a  sentence,  from  the  section 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  DIVISIONS  77 

which  it  precedes;  i.e.,  do  not  allow  such  mark  to 
fall  at  the  end  of  a  line,  but  carry  it  over  with  the 
matter  to  which  it  pertains. 

221.  Divide  according  to  pronunciation  (the  American 
system),  not  accordingTo  derivation  (the  English 
system) : 

democ-racy,  not:  demo-cracy;  knowl-edge,  not:  know-ledge; 
aurif-erous,  not:  auri-ferous;  antip-odes  (still better:  antipo- 
des— see  224),  not:  anti-podes. 

As  far  as  is  compatible  with  pronunciation  and  good 
spacing,  however,  divide  compounds  on  etymologi- 
cal lines,  or  according  to  derivation  and  meaning: 

dis-pleasure  is  better  than  displeas-ure;  school-master, 
than  schoolmas-ter. 

Shun  such  monstrosities  as — 
Passo-ver,  diso-bedience,  une-ven,  disa-bled. 

222.  When  two  consonants  meet  between  vowels,  and 

the  syllable  ends  on  one  consonant,  the  division 

may  properly  be  made  between  the  consonants,  the 

pronunciation  determining  the  place  of  division: 

advan-tage,  exces-sive,  finan-cier,  foun-da-tion,  impor-tant, 
In-dian,  moun-tain,  profes-sor,  struc-ture. 

223.  Do  not  terminate  a  line  in  a  soft  c  or  ^>  or  in  a  ]. 
Escape  the  division  entirely,  if  possible;  if  not  pos- 
sible, divide: 

pro-cess,  not:  proc-ess;  ne-cessary,  not:  nec-essary;  spa- 
cing, not:   spac-ing  (the  rule  being  that  in  present  parti- 


78         .   THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

ciples  the  -ing  should  be  carried  over);  pro-geny,  not: 
prog-eny;  pre-judice,  not:  prej-udice. 

Note. — This  rule  differs  from  that  followed  by  Webster  and 
other  dictionaries. 

224.  Divide  on  a  vowel  wherever  practicable.     In  case  a 

vowel  alone  forms  a  syllable  in  the  middle  of  a  word, 

run  it  into  the  first  line: 

sepa-rate,  not:  sep-arate;  particu-lar,  not:  partic-ular; 
criti-cism,  not:  crit-icism. 

Exceptions  are  words  in  -able  and  -ible,  which  should 

carry  the  vowel  over  into  the  next  line: 

read-able,  not:   reada-ble;   convert-ible,  not:   converti-ble. 

225.  In  hyphenated  nouns  and  adjectives  avoid  additional 

hyphens : 

object-lesson,  not:  object-les-son;  fellow-being,  not:  fel- 
low-being; poverty-stricken,  not:  pov-erty-stricken,  much 
less:  pover-ty-stricken. 

226.  A  coalition  of  two  vowel-sounds  into  one  (i.e.,  a 
diphthong)  should  be  treated  as  one  letter.  There- 
fore do  not  divide,  if  there  is  any  escape: 

peo-ple  (either  syllable  makes  a  bad  division),  Cae-sar 
(cf.  218),  ail-ing. 

227.  In  derivatives  from  words  ending  in  /,  the  /,  in 
divisions,  should  be  carried  into  the  next  line  with 
the  sufl5x  if  the  accent  has  been  shifted;  if  the  deriva- 
tive has  retained  the  accent  of  the  parent-word, 
the  /  should  be  left  in  the  first  line: 

objec-tive  (from  ob'ject);  defect-ive  (from  defect'). 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   DIVISIONS  79 

228.  The  addition  of  a  plural  s,  adding  a  new  syllable 
to  words  ending  in  an  ^-sound,  does  not  create  a 
new  excuse  for  dividing  such  words : 

hor-ses  and  circumstan-ces  are  impossible  divisions, 

229.  Adjectives  in  -ical  should  be  divided  on  the  i:    - 
physi-cal,  not  phys-ical  or  physic-al. 

Do  not  divide  nothing. 

The  following  are  condensed  rules  for  dividing 
words  in  the  foreign  languages  most  frequently  met 
with  in  proofreading.  While,  perhaps,  not  entirely 
comprehensive,  they  will  be  found  to  cover  every 
ordinary  contingency. 

FRENCH 

a)  The  fundamental  principle  is  to  divide  on  a 
vowel  as  far  as  possible,  avoiding  consonantal  end- 
ing of  syllables: 

in-di-vi-si-bi-li-te,  a-che-ter;  ta-bleau  (not:  tab-leau); 
ba-lancer  (not:  bal-ancer). 

b)  Two  consonants  of  which  the  second  is  /  or  r 
(but  not  the  combinations  rl,  Ir),  are  both  carried 
over  to  the  following  syllable: 

ta-bleau,  e-cri-vain,  per-dre,  qua-tre;  par-ler,  hur-ler. 

c)  There  are  as  many  syllables  as  there  are  vowels, 
even  if  soundless: 

par-lent,  vic-toi-re,  pro-pri-e-tai-re,  guer-re,  fil-les; 


8o  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

but  a  mute  e  following  a  vowel  does  not  form  a 

syllable : 

e-taient,  joue-rai; 

and  i,  y,  o,  ou,  u,  when  preceding  other  vowels,  are 

often  sounded  as  consonants,  and  then  do  not  form 

a  syllable: 

bien,  e-tions,  yeux,  loin,  fouet-ter,  e-cuel-le. 

GERMAN  J 

a)  The  fundamental  principle  is  to  divide  on  a 
vowel  as  far  as  possible : 

hii-ten,  le-ben,  Fa-brik. 

b)  If  several  consonants  stand  between  vowels, 
usually  only  the  last  is  carried  over: 

Rit-ter,  klir-ren,  Klemp-ner,  Ver-wand-te,  Karp-fen.  J 

c)  sz,  ch,  sch,  ph,  st,  th  are  never  separated  (but  see 

/)  below):  j 

Bu-sze,  Be-cher,  Ha-scher  (but:  Haus-chen),  Geo-gra-phie, 
La-sten,  Ma-thilde. 

d)  If  ck  must  be  divided,  it  is  separated  into  k-k: 
Deckel— Dek-kel. 

e)  In  foreign  words  (Fremdworter) ,  combinations  of 
b,  d,  g,  k,  p,  t,  with  I  or  r  are  carried  over: 
Pu-bli-kum,  Me-trum,  Hy-drant.  J 

/)  Compound  words  are  separated  first  into  their 
component  elements,  and  within  each  element  the 
foregoing  rules  apply: 
Fiirsten-schlosz,  Tiir-an-gel,  Inter-esse. 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   DIVISIONS  8l 

ITALIAN 

a)  The  fundamental  principle  is  to  divide  on  a 
vowel  as  far  as  possible: 

ta-vo-ll-no,  nar-ra-re. 

b)  s  before  a  consonant,  r,  following  a  consonant, 
ch,  gh,  gli  (gl),  gn,  qu,  sc,  d,  fl,  gl,  pi  are  never 
separated : 

ca-sti-ghi,  a-vro,  mi-glio-re,  bi-s6-gno,  in-chio-stro,  u-scire. 

c)  i=y   and  u=w  go  with  the  following  vowel; 

ac,  au,  ei,  eu,  oi  are  not  separated: 

miei,  tu6i. 

SPANISH 

a)  The  fundamental  principle  is  to  divide  on  a 
vowel  as  far  as  possible: 
ca-ra-co-les,  flu-xi-6n,  re-ba-no,  fle-xi-bi-li-dad. 
h)  ch,  II,  rr,  and  n,  being  regarded  as  simple  con- 
sonants, follow  the  foregoing  rule;  cc  and  nn  are 
divided,  as  in  Enghsh: 

mu-cha-cho,  ba-ta-Ua,  bu-116,  ba-rre-no,  ci-ga-rro;  ac-ce-so, 
ac-ci-on,  en-no-ble-cer,  in-ne-ga-ble. 

c)  The  Hquid  consonants  /  and  r,  when  preceded  by 
any  consonant  other  than  s,  must  not  be  separated 
from  that  consonant,  except  in  uniting  parts  of 
compound  words: 

ha-blar,  po-dria,  ce-le-bra-ci-on,  si-glo;  but  sub-lu-nar, 
sub-ra-yar,  es-la-bon. 

d)  Two  separable  consonants  should  be  divided; 
s  is  always  disjoined  from  a  following  consonant: 
cuer-da,  chas-co,  pron-to;  has-ta,  as-pi-rar,  cons-pi-rar. 


82  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

GREEK 

a)  Single  consonants,  combinations  of  consonants 
which  can  begin  a  word,  and  mutes  followed  by  /* 
or  V  are  placed  at  the  beginning  of  a  syllable : 

('X'^i  c-yw,  i-cnri-pa,  ve-KTap,  a-Kfn^,  8e-(Tfi6'i,  fxi-Kpov,  Tvpa- 
ypn-To?,  yt-yvw-aKU). 

Other  combinations  of  consonants  are  divided: 

Trpao'-o'o),  eA.-7r6S,  ev-8ov,  ap-pxi-Ta. 

b)  Compound  words  are  divided  into  their  original 
parts ;  subject  to  that  the  foregoing  rule  applies : 

Trpoa-d-yw,  Trap-d-yo). 

LATIN 

a)  A  Latin  word  has  as  many  syllables  as  it  has 
vowels  or  diphthongs  (ae,  au,  oe,  ei,  eu,  ui). 

b)  When  a  single  consonant  occurs  between  two 
vowels,  divide  before  the  consonant: 

Cae-sar,  me-ri-di-es. 

c)  In  the  case  of  two  or  more  consonants  divide 
before  the  last  consonant,  except  in  the  combina- 
tions: mute  (p,  ph,  b,  t,  th,  d,  c,  ch,  g)+ liquid  (/,  r), 
and  qu  or  gu: 

om-nis,  scrip-tus,  cunc-tus  (but:  pa-tris,  e-quus,  lin-gua). 

d)  Compound  words  are  separated  first  into  their 
component  elements,  and  within  each  element  the 
foregoing  rules  apply: 

ad-est,  ab-rum-po,  red-e-o,  trans-i-go. 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  FOOTNOTES  83 


FOOTNOTES 

For  reference  indices,  as  a  rule,  use  superior  figures. 
Only  in  special  cases  should  asterisks,  daggers,  etc., 
be  employed  (see  234);  for  instance,  in  tabular  or 
algebraic  matter,  where  figures  would  be  likely  to 
cause  confusion.  Index  figures  in  the  text  should  be 
placed  after  the  punctuation  marks : 

....  the  niceties  of  style  which  were  then  invading  Attic 
prose,'  and  which  made  .... 

'  In  particular  the  avoidance  of  hiatus. 
*  Schenk's  equation. 

When  figures  are  not  used,  the  sequence  of  indices 
should  be: 

*  ("asterisk"  or  "star"),  t  ("dagger"),  |  ("double  dagger"), 
§  ("section  mark"),  |i  ("parallels"),  1[  ("paragraph  mark"). 

Where  references  to  the  same  work  follow  each  other 
closely  and  uninterruptedly,  use  ibid,  instead  of 
repeating  the  title.  This  ibid,  takes  the  place  of  as 
much  of  the  previous  reference  as  is  repeated. 
Ibid,  should,  however,  not  ordinarily  be  used  for  the 
first  footnote  on  a  verso  (left-hand)  page;  it  is  better 
usage  either  to  repeat  the  title,  if  short,  or  to  use 
loc.  cit.  or  op.  cit.:

234.  Footnotes  to  tables,  whether  the  tables  are  ruled  or 
open,  should  be  in  6-pt.,  and  should  invariably  be 
placed  at  the  foot  of  the  table  and  not  at  the  foot 
of  the  page.  For  reference  indices  in  such  cases 
use  asterisks,  etc.,  and  not  superior  figures.  (See 
232.) 

235.  If  the  author's  name  is  given  in  the  text  in  connec- 
tion with  a  reference  to,  or  a  quotation  from,  his 
work,  it  should  not  be  repeated  in  the  footnote: 

....  This  theory  is  questioned  by  Herbert,  as  follows: 
"I  cannot  admit  .  .  .  ."' 

»  Laws  0/  the  Ancients,  I,  153. 

236.  It  is  better  to  place  the  index  figure  in  the  text 
after  the  quotation  than  before  it  (see  illustration 
above).  ^ 

237.  Ordinarily,  omit  "Vol.,"  "chap.,"  and  "p."  in 
references  to  particular  passages.  Use  Roman  numer- 
als (capitals)  for  Volume,  Book,  Part,  and  Division, 
except  in  reference  to  ancient,  classical  authors 
or  works,  when  lower-case  roman  numerals  should 
be  used;  Roman  numerals  (lower-case)  for  chapter 
and  pages  of  introductory  matter  (Preface,  etc.) ;  and 
Arabic  numerals  for  number  (Heft)  and  text  pages. 
Only  when  confusion  would  be  liable  to  arise,  or  in 
exceptional  cases,  use  "  Vol.,"  "p.,"  etc.,  in  connection 
with  the  numerals;  but  where  the  reference  is  to  a 
page,  unaccompanied  by  further  details,  the  abbre- 


^lANUAL  OF  STYLE:  FOOTNOTES  85 

viation  ''p."  or  "pp."  must  of  course  be  used.  In 
classical  references  use  no  comma  between  author's 
name  and  the  title  of  his  work ;  and  no  comma  fol- 
lowing the  title,  unless  "Vol.,"  "p.,"  or  some  kin- 
dred symbol  is  used.  In  all  references  to  divisions 
of  classical  or  ancient  works,  use  periods  in  place  of 
commas,  reserving  the  comma  to  indicate  a  succes- 
sion (of  pages,  etc.) :

The  same  practice  prescribed  for  classical  references 
is  frequently  desired  by  authors  with  respect  to 
English  references,  and  may  with  equal  propriety 
be  followed:

238.  The  date  of  publication  in  a  reference  to  a  periodical 
should  immediately  follow  the  volume  number,  and 
should  be  put  in  parentheses  (see  above  illustration) . 

239.  In  work  set  on  the  linotype  machine  footnotes  should 
be  numbered  consecutively  through  an  article,  in  a

MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  INDEXING  87 


INDEXING 

40.  In  indexes  and  other  alphabetical  lists  of  names  the 
following  rules  should  be  observed: 

a)  A  French,  Belgian,  or  Spanish  name,  preceded 
by  "le,"  "la,"  "T,"  "du,"  or  "des,"  should  be  listed 
under  the  letters  of  the  prefix  in  advance  of  the  ordi- 
nary "L"  or  "D"  list;  if  preceded  by  "de,"  or  "d'," 
under  the  first  letter  of  the  word  following  the  prefix, 
the  particle  in  such  a  case  being  placed  after  the 
initials  or  Christian  name: 

Le  Conte,  John;  La  Noue,  Frangois  de;  L'Estrange,  Sir 
Roger;  Du  Maurier,  George;  Des  Essarts,  Jean;  Estrees, 
Gabrielle  d';  Rambeau,  Emile  de;  La  Mancha,  Don  Quixote 
de. 

Note. — If  the  particle  is  actually  a  part  of  the  surname,  the 
name  should  be  indexed  according  to  the  initial  letter  of  the 
particle:    De  Bey,  Robert;   De  Quincey,  Thomas. 

b)  German  names  preceded  by  "von"  should  be 
indexed  according  to  the  initials  of  the  name  follow- 
ing the  prefix: 

Stemthal,  Max  von;   Goethe,  J.  W.  von. 

c)  Names  beginning  with  "M',"  "Mac,"  or  "Mc," 
with  the  following  letter  capitalized,  should  be  indexed 
in  the  above  order,  in  advance  of  the  ordinary  "M" 
list,  each  section  being  arranged  alphabetically  accord- 
ing to  the  letters  following  the  "M',"  "Mac,"or"Mc." 


88  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

Names  beginning  with  "Mac,"  without  the  following 
letter  being  capitalized,  should  take  their  natural  and 
ordinary  places  in  the  alphabetical  "M"  list. 

(f)  Names  preceded   by    "O',"    "St.,"   or   "Van," 
with  the  following  letter  capitalized,  should  be  placed 
in  advance  of  the  "O,"  "S,"  or  "V"  hst  and  should  ^ 
be  arranged  alphabetically  according  to  the  letter  ^ 
following    the    "O',"    "St.,"    or    "Van."     Names 
beginning  with  "Van,"  without  the  following  letter   ; 
being  capitalized,  should  take  their  ordinary  places 
in  the  alphabetical  "V"  list. 

e)  Names  having  two  parts,  or  names  of  firms,  con- 
nected by  "and,"  "&,"  "y"  (Spanish),  or  "et" 
(French),  "und"  (German),  "e"  (Italian),  should 
be  listed  according  to  the  first  letter  of  the  name 
preceding  the  connective : 

Smith  and  Evans  (under  "S");  Smith  &  Evans  (under  "S"); 
Gomez  y  Pineda,  Liberio  (under  "G");  Loubet  et  Meunier 
(under  "L");  Duncker  und  Humblot  (under  "D");  San- 
dron  e  VaUardi  (under  "S"). 

/)  Hyphenated  names  should  be  listed  according 
to  the  name  following  the  hyphen,  if  English;  accord- 
ing to  the  name  preceding  the  hyphen,  if  French: 

Taylor,  Henry  Chandler-  (for  Henry  Chandler-Taylor) ;  Saint- 
Saens,  Charles  Camille  (for  Charles  Camille  Saint-Saens). 

g)  German  names  spelled  with  an  Umlaut  {A ,  0,  U) 
should  be  indexed  as  if  spelled  with  the  ^ ,  0,  or  U. 

h)  On  the  subject  of  cross-references  see  62. 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  TABULAR  WORK  89 


TABULAR  WORK 

In  ii-pt.  and  lo-pt.  matter  open  (unruled)  tables 
should  ordinarily  be  set  in  9-pt.  leaded;  ruled,  in 
8-pt.  solid.  In  9-pt.  matter  both  open  and  ruled 
tables  should  be  set  in  8-pt.  solid.  In  8-pt.  matter 
open  tables  should  be  set  in  6-pt.  leaded;  ruled,  in 
6-pt.  solid.  In  6-pt.  matter  both  open  and  ruled 
tables  should  be  set  in  6-pt.  solid.  There  is  a 
growing  practice  of  using  different  type  in  tables 
for  columns  representing  totals,  averages,  percent- 
ages, and  generahzations.  For  this  purpose  italic 
and  black-face  figures  may  be  resorted  to  with 
propriety,  to  set  off  the  various  classes  of  results. 

Captions  for  the  columns  of  open  tables  and  box- 
heads  for  ruled  tables  should  ordinarily  be  set  in 
6-pt.  In  ruled  tables  with  box-heads  of  several 
stories,  the  upper  story — primary  heads — should  be 
set  in  caps  and  small  caps,  except  where  the  second 
story  consists  of  figures  only  (see  p.  92);  the  lower 
— secondary — in  caps  and  lower-case.  Wherever 
small  caps  are  used  in  box-heads,  the  ''stub"  (i.e., 
first  column)  head  should,  as  a  rule,  also  be  set  in 
caps  and  small  caps. 

In  ruled  tables  there  should  be  at  least  two  leads' 
space  between  the  horizontal  rules  and  the  matter 
inclosed,  and,  if  practicable,  at  least  the  equivalent 


go  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 


of  an  en-quad,  of  the  type  in  which  the  body  of 
the  table  is  set,  between  the  perpendicular  rules  and 
the  matter  inclosed. 

244.  In  open  tables  either  periods,  one  em  apart  and 
aligned,  or  leaders,  may  be  used  between  the  col- 
umns. (See  248.)  In  ruled  tables,  in  the  ''stub," 
leaders  should  usually  be  employed,  if  there  is  room. 
(A  leader  is  a  piece  of  type,  having  dots  ["period 
leader"]  or  short  lines  ["hyphen  leader"]  upon 
its  face,  used  in  tables,  indexes,  etc.,  to  lead  the  eye 
across  a  space  to  the  right  word  or  number.) 

245.  In  columns  of  figures,  to  express  a  blank  use  leaders 
the  width  of  the  largest  number  in  the  column;  that 
is,  for  four  digits  use  a  2-em  leader,  etc.  (each  em 
containing  two  dots;  in  no  case,  however,  should  less 
than  two  dots  be  used).  Center  the  figures  in  the 
column;  if  they  cannot  be  put  in  the  exact  center, 
and  there  is  an  unequal  number  of  digits  in  the 
groups,  leave  more  space  on  the  left  than  on  the 
right. 

246.  When  there  is  reading-matter  in  the  columns  of  a 
ruled  table,  it  should  be  centered,  if  possible;  if  any 
line  runs  over,  use  hanging  indention,  and  align  all 

.  on  the  left. 

247.  Double  rules  should  be  used  at  the  top  of  all  tables, 
but  perpendicularly,  as  a  usual  thing,  only  when  a 
table  is  doubled  up  on  itself. 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  TABULAR  WORK 


91 


48.  Tables  of  two  columns  only  should  be  set  as  open; 
of  three  or  more,  as  ruled. 

49.  "Table  I,"  etc.,  in  headlines  of  tables  should  ordi- 
narily be  set  in  caps  of  the  type  in  which  the  body  of 
the  table  is  set;  the  following  (descriptive)  line,  if 
any,  in  caps  and  small  caps  of  the  same  type.  A 
single  (descriptive)  headline,  not  preceded  by  the 
number  of  the  table,  should  be  set  in  caps  of  the  type 
in  which  the  table  is  set.

EXPLANATION  OF  TECHNICAL  TERMS 

The  Point  System — 

251.  The  point  is  the  underlying  unit  of  all  typographical 
measures. 

252.  The  standard  of  measurement  is  the  pica.  A  pica 
is  twelve  points  (one-sixth  of  an  inch) . 

This  line  is  set  in  12-pt.  {pica). 
This  line  is  set  in  ii-pt.  {small  pica). 
This  line  is  set  in  lo-pt.  {long  primer). 
This  line- is  set  in  9-pt.  {bourgeois). 
This  line  is  set  in  8-pt.  {brevier). 
This  line  is  set  in  7-pt.  {minion). 
This  line  is  set  in  6-pt.  {nonpareil). 

This  line  is  set  in  5-pt.  (pearl) . 

The  sizes  larger  or  smaller  than  these  are  seldom 
used  in  book  composition. 

Styles  of  Type — 

253.  Ordinary  type  is  called  roman.  To  "  roman-quote " 
is  to  put  in  roman  type  between  quotation  marks. 

This  line  is  set  in  roman. 

254.  Type  with  a  sloping  face  is  called  italic  or  italics. 
Italic  is  indicated  in  manuscripts  by  a  straight  line 
under  the  word  or  words.     (See  p.  123.) 

This  line  is  set  in  italics.

qS  the  university  of  CHICAGO  PRESS 

255.  Type  with  a  heavy  black  face  is  called  bold-face. 
Bold-face  is  indicated  by  a  wavy  line.  (See  p.  123.) 
This  line  is  set  in  bold-face. 

256.  The  body  of  a  type  is  called  the  shank;  the  upper 
surface,  bearing  the  character,  the  face;  the  part 
of  the  face  projecting  beyond  the  shank,  the  kern; 
the  part  of  the  shank  projecting  beyond  the  face, 
the  shoulder. 

257.  A  font,  or  complete  assortment  of  a  given  size,  of 
type  includes  large  capitals  (^^caps^'),  small  capitals 
{'^  small  caps^'),  and  lower-case  letters  (so  called  from 
being  placed  in  the  lower  half  of  the  printer's  case). 
Caps  are  indicated  by  three  straight  lines;  small 
caps,  by  two.     (See  p.  123.) 

THESE  ARE   CAPS   OF  9-PT.   ROMAN. 

THESE   ARE   SMALL   CAPS    OF   9-PT.    ROMAN. 

These  are  lower  case  of  g-pt.  roman. 
Spacing — 

258.  The  technical  names  for  spaces  and  the  methods  of 
spacing  depend  on  whether  the  "foundry"  type  (i.e., 
type  set  by  hand)  or  machine-set  type  is  in  question. 
There  are  several  makes  of  type-setting  machines  on 
the  market,  but  of  these  the  monotype  (see  293)  and 
the  linotype  (see  294)  are  in  commonest  use. 

259.  The  monotype  and  linotype  machines  have  come 
into  such  universal  use  that  a  few  words  regarding 
their  respective  systems  of  spacing  are  proper: 


IVIANUAL  OF  STYLE:   TECHNICAL  TERMS  99 

MONOTYPE 

In  monotype  composition  the  unit  system  instead 
of  the  pica  system  of  measurement  is  used.  There 
are  18  units  in  a  quad,  which,  unlike  the  em-quad 
of  the  foundry  type  for  hand  composition,  is  not  a 
perfect  square  at  the  end.  The  standard  space 
(see  261)  is  a  6-unit  space=3-em  space;  a  5-unit 
space  =  4-em  space;  a  4-unit  space  =  a  Uttle  less 
than  a  5-em  space,  and  is  the  smallest  space  in  use 
on  the  monotype  machine.  These  are  cast  from 
matrices,  and  represent  "fixed"  spaces,  i.e.,  un- 
varying in  width.  On  the  other  hand,  in  the  pro- 
cess of  composition  on  the  keyboard,  the  swelhng, 
or  justifying,  space  is  used  to  fill  out  a  line.  When 
it  is  evident  that  another  word  or  syllable  cannot 
be  set  in  a  line,  the  keys  indicating  the  proper  space 
are  struck  by  the  operator,  and  all  spaces  in  the 
Une  are  spread  equally  to  fill  out  the  Hne,  resulting 
in  spaces  which  do  not  necessarily  contain  a  specific 
number  of  units.     (See  293.) 

LINOTYPE 

On  the  linotype  machine  the  pica  system  of  meas- 
urement is  used.  There  are  three  "fixed"  spaces 
(see  261):  the  em-quad,  the  en-quad,  and  the  thin 
space,  which  is  equal  to  a  4-em  space.  To  spread 
the  spaces,  a  space  band  is  used;  this  band  can 
spread  a  space  to  any  size  between  a  3-em  space 
and  a  space  a  trifle  larger  than  an  en-quad.     If  a 


lOO  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

space  smaller  than  a  thin  space  is  required,  it  must 
be  put  in  by  hand.     (See  294.) 

FOUNDRY   TYPE    (aND   GENERAL) 

261.  An  em,  em-quad,  or  simply  quad  (=  quadrat)  is  a 
block  of  type  the  top  of  which  forms  a  perfect 
square.  A  12-pt.  quad  is  thus  a  piece  of  metal 
one-sixth  of  an  inch  square  at  the  ends.  The  term 
em  is  also  used  of  the  size  of  such  a  square  in  any 
given  size  of  type  as  a  unit  of  measurement. 
"Indent  8-pt.  2  ems"  thus  means  that  the  line  should 
be  indented  16  points.  An  em-dash  is  a  dash  the 
width  of  an  em. 

Two-  and  three-em  quads  are  multiples  of  the  above, 
cast  in  one  block  of  type-metal.  Two-  and  three-em 
dashes  are  dashes  the  width  of  2-  and  3-em  quads 
respectively. 

An  en-quad  is  half  the  size  of  an  em-quad  in  width. 
Thus  an  8-pt.  en-quad  is  4  points  wide  (thick)  and 
8  points  long  (deep).  An  en-dash  is  a  dash  the 
width  of  an  en-quad. 

A  three-em  space  is  one-third  of  an  em  in  thickness. 
•  This  is  also  called  a  thick  space,  and  is  the  standard 
space  used  to  separate  words. 
A  jour-em  space  is  one-fourth  of  an  em;  a  -five-em 
space  is  one-fifth  of  an  em.  Four-  and  5 -em  spaces 
are  also  called  middle  and  thin  spaces. 

A  hair-space  is  any  space  thinner  than  a  5-em. 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   TECHNICAL  TERMS        lOl

This  is  an  em-dash:  — 
This  is  an  en-dash:  - 

262.  Space  evenly.  A  standard  line  should  have  a  3-em 
space  between  all  words  not  separated  by  other 
punctuation  points  than  commas,  and  after  commas; 
an  en-quad  after  semicolons,  and  colons  followed  by 
a  lower-case  letter;  two  3-em  spaces  after  colons 
followed  by  a  capital;  an  em-quad  after  periods, 
and  exclamation  and  interrogation  points,  conclud- 
ing a  sentence. 

263.  If  necessary  to  reduce  spacing  in  a  line,  begin  with 
commas,  and  letters  of  slanting  form — i.e.,  with  a 
large  "shoulder"  on  the  side  adjoining  the  space;  if 
necessary  to  increase,  begin  with  overlapping  let- 
ters— i.e.,  with  "kerns"  protruding  on  the  side 
adjoining  the  space — straight-up-and-down  letters, 
and  points  other  than  periods  and  commas  (in  this 
order) . 

264.  In  a  well-spaced  line,  with  a  3-em  space  between 
a  majority  of  the  words,  there  should  not  be  more 
than  an  en-quad  between  the  rest;  this  proportion 


c  r       t    « 


I02     '     THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

should  be  maintained  in  increasing  or  reducing.  To 
justify  a  line  is  to  adjust  it,  making  it  even  or  true, 
by  proper  spacing. 

265.  Do  not  follow  an  exceptionally  thin-spaced  line  with 
an  exceptionally  wide-spaced  one,  or  vice  versa,  if 
at  all  avoidable. 

266.  Never  hair-space,  or  em-quad,  a  line  to  avoid  a 
run-over. 

267.  Do  not  space  out  the  last  line  of  a  paragraph  allowing 
of  an  indention  of  an  em  or  more  at  the  end. 

268.  Short  words,  like  "a,"  "an,"  etc.,  should  have  the 
same  space  on  each  side. 

269.  Use  a  thin  space  after  §,  ^,  and  similar  signs;  before 
"f.,"  "ff.,"  and  the  metric  symbols: 

"§14.     Be  it  further  ordained  .  .  .  .";    pp.  loflf.;  16 cm. 

270.  In  American  and  English  sums  of  money  no  space 
is  used  between  the  symbols,  $,  and  £  (pounds), 
5.  (shillings) ,  and  (/.  (pence),  and  the  numerals: 
$2.75;  ;^io  35.  2d. 

271.  After  Arabic  and  Roman  numerals  at  the  beginning 
of  lines,  denoting  subsections,  there  should  be  an 
en-quad.  After  Arabic  and  Roman  numerals  at 
the  beginning  of  center-heads  there  should  be  an 
em-quad.  Small-cap  headings  should  have  an  en- 
quad  between  the  words;  cap-and-small-cap  and 
cap  headings,  two  3-em  spaces. 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  TECHNICAL  TERMS       103 

272.  Scripture  references  should  be  spaced  thus: 
II  Cor.  1 :  16-20;  2:5 — 3:12. 

273.  Between  letters  forming  products,  and  before 
superior  figures  or  letters  indicating  powers,  and 
inferior  figures  or  letters,  ordinarily  no  space  should 
be  used: 

Hx'^  =  Sm^  (v^z^  —  2vwyz+2'w^y^) . 

[ndentation  (Printer's  Term:   Indention) — 

274.  In  measures  of  less  than  10  picas'  width,  indent  all 
sizes  I  em.  In  measures  of  from  10  to  20,  indent 
ii-pt.,  I  em;  lo-pt,  i^;  9-pt.,  i^;  8-pt.,  ij;  6-pt.,  2. 
In  measures  of  from  20  to  30,  indent  ii-pt.,  i^  ems; 
lo-pt.,  i^;  9-pt.,  i§;  8-pt.,  2;  6-pt.,  2h.  This  is 
for  plain  paragraphs.  In  hanging  indentions,  in 
measures  of  less  than  10  picas,  indent  all  sizes 
I  em;  from  10  to  20,  ii-pt.,  lo-pt.,  9-pt.,  and  8-pt., 
i^  ems;  6-pt.,  2  ems;  from  20  to  30,  ii-pt.,  lo-pt., 
9-pt.,  and  8-pt.,  2  ems;  6-pt.,  3  ems. 

275.  In  poetry,  center  the  longest  line  and  let  the  inden- 
tion be  governed  by  that;  unless  the  longest  line 
is  of  disproportionate  length,  in  which  case  an 
average  of  the  long  lines  should  be  struck,  the  idea 
being  to  give  the  whole  a  centered  appearance. 
Where  quotations  from  different  poems,  following 
each  other  in  close  succession,  vary  but  slightly  in 
length  of  verse  lines,  it  is  better  to  indent  all  alike. 
Indent  according  to  rhymes  and  length  of  lines.     In 


I04         THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

blank  verse,  where  the  lines  are  approximately  of 
the  same  length,  they  should  be  aligned.  If  con- 
secutive lines  rhyme,  they  should  likewise,  as  a  rule, 
be  aligned.  If  the  rhymes  alternate,  or  follow  at 
certain  intervals,  indent  the  rhyming  lines  alike;  that 
is,  if,  e.g.,  lines  i  and  3,  and  2  and  4,  rhyme,  set  the 
former  flush  in  the  measure  previously  determined  by 
the  longest  line,  and  indent  the  latter  (usually  one 
em) ;  follow  this  scheme  in  any  similar  arrangement. 
If  any  line  is  disproportionately  short — that  is,  con- 
tains a  smaller  number  of  feet — indent  it  more: 

And  blessed  are  the  homy  hands  of  toil ! 
The  busy  world  shoves  angrily  aside 
The  man  who  stands  with  arms  akimbo  set, 
Until  occasion  tells  him  what  to  do. 

I  laugh  at  the  lore  and  the  pride  of  man. 
At  the  sophist  schools  and  the  learned  clan; 
For  what  are  they  all,  in  their  high  conceit, 
When  man  in  the  bush  with  God  may  meet  ? 

So  nigh  is  grandeur  to  our  dust. 

So  near  is  God  to  man, 
When  Duty  whispers  low,  "Thou  must," 

The  youth  replies,  "I  can." 

Not  lightly  fall 

Beyond  recall 
The  written  scrolls  a  breath  can  float; 

The  crowning  fact. 

The  kingliest  act 
Of  Freedom  is  the  freeman's  vote! 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:  TECHNICAL  TERMS       105 

276.  In  ordinary  reading-matter  "plain  paragraphs" 
are  always  preferable.  Where  it  is  desired  to  bring 
into  relief  the  opening  word  or  words  of  a  paragraph, 

.  or  the  number  introducing  such  paragraph,  or  where 
a  center-head  makes  more  than  three  lines,  "  hanging 
indention"  is  often  employed.     (See  284.) 

Leads — 

277.  A  lead  is  a  strip  of  metal  used  to  separate  lines  of 
type.  The  ordinary  (standard)  lead  is  2  points 
thick.  Matter  with  leads  between  the  lines  is 
called  leaded;  without,  solid. 

This  book,  for  the  most  part,  is  set  leaded.  This  paragraph, 
for  illustration,  and  the  Index  are  set  soUd.  Nearly  all  books 
are  leaded. 

278.  A  slug  is  a  strip  of  metal,  thicker  than  a  lead,  used 
in  the  make-up  of  printed  matter  into  pages,  to  be 
inserted  after  headlines,  etc.  The  two  standard 
sizes  are  6  and  12  points  (a  nonpareil  and  a  pica) 
thick,   respectively. 

Heads  or  Headings — 

279.  A  center-head  is  a  headline  placed  at  equal  distances 
from  both  margins  of  the  page  or  column.  Center- 
heads  are  usually  set  in  caps  or  in  small  caps.  This 
is  a  center-head: 

SEC.   VII.      THE   PRINCIPLES   OF   SOCIOLOGY 

When  such  center-head  makes  more  than  one  line, 
either  the  (inverted)  "pyramid"  form  (for   two   or 


io6  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  "PRESS 

three  lines)  or  "hanging  indention"  (for  more  than 
three  lines)  is  employed:

FORM  AND  DIMENSIONS  OF  THE  SUN,  AND  SOME  SUGGES- 
TIONS TOWARD  EXPLAINING  CERTAIN  PHENOMENA  OF 
VARIABLE   STARS 

280.  A  side-head  is  a  headline  placed  at  the  side  of  the 
page  or  column.  It  may  either  be  set  in  a  separate 
line,  in  which  case  it  is  usually  set  jiush — that  is,  in 
alignment  with  the  margin  of  the  type-page;  or 
run  in — that  is,  run  together  in  a  continuous  line 
with  the  paragraph  to  which  it  belongs.  The  latter 
is  the  more  common  form.  Side-heads  are  most 
frequently  set  in  italics,  only  the  first  word  and 
proper  names  being  capitaUzed;  sometimes  in  caps 
and  small  caps  or  in  bold-face  (see  172):

281.  A  cut-in  head  is  a  head  placed  in  a  box  cut  into 
the  side  of  the  type-page,  usually  set  in  different 
type,  and  as  a  rule  placed  under  the  first  two  lines  :

each  page  of  a  book,  etc.,  usually  giving  the  main 
title  of  the  work  on  the  left-hand  {verso)  page,  and 
the  title  of  the  chapter,  or  other  subdivision,  on 
the  right-hand  {recto)  page.  A  good  working  rule 
for  running-heads  is  to  set  them  in  roman  or  italic 
capitals  two  sizes  (points)  smaller  than  the  type 
of  the  text. 

Paragraphs — 

284.  Two  kinds  of  paragraphs  are  distinguished — plain 
and  hanging.  A  plain  (or  regular)  paragraph  has 
the  first  line  indented,  and  the  others  set  flush.  A 
hanging  paragraph  {"hanging  indention")  has  the 
first  line  set  flush,  and  the  others  indented :

CooLEY.     New  York:    Scribner,  1902.     Pp.  viii-l-404. 

In  terms  of  his  own  thesis  Dr.  Cooley  has  transformed 
the  social  materials  of  his  times  into  a  personal  product; 
his  mind  has  reorganized  and  reproduced  the  suggested,  etc.

Proofs — 

285.  A  galley-proof  is  an  impression  of  the  type  contained 
in  a  long,  shallow  receptacle  of  metal,  known  as  a 
galley,  into  which  the  compositor,  operator,  or  cast- 
ing-machine places  the  material  as  it  is  set,  line  by 
line. 

286.  A  page- proof  is  an  impression  of  the  type  material 
made  up  into  page-form. 

287.  A  plate- proof  or  foundry-proof  is  a  proof  taken  of  the 
type-page  immediately  before  an  electrotype  cast  is 
made  of  it.  This  proof  has  a  black  border  around 
the  pages,  made  by  ink  from  the  metal  frame  used 
to  hold  the  type  in  place  while  the  cast  is  being 
made.  Most  publications  nowadays  are  printed 
from  such  plates,  and  not  directly  from  the  type. 

288.  A  foul  proof  is  a  galley-proof  containing  author's 
corrections. 

289.  A  revise  is  a  new  proof  of  type  corrected  from  a 
marked  proof. 

Make-up — 

290.  The  arranging  into  page-form  of  type-lines  is  called 
the  make-up. 

291.  A  folio  is  a  page-number.  Even  numbers  are  placed 
on  the  verso;  odd,  on  the  recto.  A  drop- folio  is  a 
page-number  placed  at  the  bottom  of  a  page. 


MANUAL  OF  STYLE:   TECHNICAL  TERMS       109 

292.  A  half-title  or  bastard  title  is  the  abbreviated  title  of 
a  book  placed  on  a  separate  page  preceding  the  full 
title-page,  or  the  title  of  a  part,  chapter,  etc.,  preced- 
ing such  part  or  chapter  on  a  separate  page  in  the 
body  of  the  book. 

Typesetting  Machines — 

293.  The  monotype — named  Lanston  after  the  patentee — 
is  a  composing-machine  on  which,  by  touching  a  key- 
board, perforations  are  made  in  strips  of  paper,  which 
then  are  transferred  to  a  second  machine,  where  the 
matrices  to  which  the  perforations  correspond  are 
brought  in  contact  with  molten  type-metal,  the 
characters  being  cast  separately  and  arranged  auto- 
matically on  a  galley  in  justified  lines.     (See  259.) 

294.  The  linotype — named  Mergenthalcr  after  its  invent- 
or— is  a  composing-machine  on  which,  by  touching 
a  keyboard,  the  matrices  from  which  the  characters 
are  cast  arrange  themselves  automatically  in  lines 
in  a  receptacle,  which  then  is  brought  in  contact, 
on  the  same  machine,  with  molten  type-metal, 
through  a  mechanical  device  which  liberates  and 
arranges  in  order  on  a  galley  the  stereotyped  strips, 
called  "slugs,"  each  consisting  of  a  line  of  type. 
(See  260.) 


APPENDIX 


I 


HINTS  TO  AUTHORS  AND  EDITORS 
Preparation  of  Manuscripts — 

Manuscripts   should    be    either   typewritten   or   in   a. 
perfectly  clear  handwriting.     The  former  is  preferable. 

The  sheets  should  be  of  uniform  size;  9"Xii"  is  a 
desirable  size. 

Only  one  side  of  the  paper  should  be  used. 

Never  roll  manuscripts;  place  them  flatly  in  a  box 
or  an  envelope. 

The  sheets  should  not  be  fastened  together  except  by 
pins  or  clips,  which  can  easily  be  removed. 

When  one  piece  of  a  page  is  to  be  fastened  to  another, 
use  mucilage,  not  pins.  Pins  are  liable  to  become 
unfastened,  and  the  slips  lost  or  misplaced. 

Liberal  margins  should  be  left  at  the  top  and  left- 
hand  side  of  the  sheets.  This  space  will  be  needed  by 
the  reader  or  printer  for  directions. 

The  pages  should  be  numbered  consecutively. 
Inserted  and  omitted  pages  should  be  clearly  indicated. 
Thus,  sheets  to  be  inserted  after  p.  4  should  be  marked 
"4A,"  "4B,"  etc.;  sheets  omitted  between  p.  4  and  p.  8 
should  be  indicated  by  numbering  p.  4,  "4-7." 

Additions  to  original  pages  should  be  placed  after  the 
sheets  to  which  they  belong,  and  should  be  marked 
"Insert  A,"  "Insert  B,"  etc.     The  places  where  they  are 

"3 


114  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

to  be  inserted   should  be  indicated   by  writing,  "Here 
insert  A,"  etc.,  on  the  margin  of  the  original  pages. 

Paragraphs — 

Paragraphs  should  be  plainly  indicated,  either  by 
indenting  the  first  line  or  by  a  ^  mark. 

Footnotes — 

Footnotes  should  be  clearly  designated,  either  by 
separating  them  from  the  text  by  running  a  line  across 
the  page,  or  by  using  ink  of  different  color.  Some  writers 
make  a  perpendicular  fold  in  the  paper,  using  two- 
thirds  of  the  space  for  the  text  and  one-third  for  the 
notes. 

The  word  in  the  text  carrying  the  note  should  be  followed 
by  a  superior  figure  corresponding  to  that  preceding  the 
note. 

Footnotes  should  never  be  run  into  the  text  in  manu- 
scripts, whether  in  parentheses  or  otherwise. 

Note. — It  is  important  to  remember  that  in  matter  set  on  the 
linotype  machine  the  slightest  change  necessitates  the  resetting  of  the 
whole  line.  Since  it  is  impossible  to  foresee  how  the  notes  will  happen 
to  come  out  in  the  make-up,  it  is  impracticable  to  number  them  from  i 
up  on  each  page.  The  best  way  is  to  number  them  consecutively  through- 
out an  article  or  by  chapters  in  a  book;  bearing  in  mind,  however,  the 
very  essential  point  that  the  change,  by  omission  or  addition,  of  one  single 
number  involves  the  resetting  of  the  whole  first  line  of  each  succeeding  note 
to  the  end  of  the  series,  as  well  as  the  line  in  the  text  bearing  the  reference 
to  the  note. 

This  difficulty  is  not  met  with  in  matter  set  on  the  monotype  machine 
or  by  hand,  where  the  change  of  a  number  amounts  simply  to  substituting 
one  figure  for  another. 


HINTS  TO  AUTHORS  AND  EDITORS  115 


Proper  Names,  etc.— 

Proper  names,  foreign  words,  and  figures  should,  in 
handwritten  manuscript,  be  written  with  the  utmost  care 
and  distinctness. 

Title-Pages,  etc. — 

Copy  for  title-pages,  prefaces,  tables  of  contents,  etc., 
should  be  submitted  with  the  manuscript.  Copy  for 
indexes  should  be  compiled  from  the  special  set  of  page- 
proofs  furnished  for  this  purpose,  and  promptly  delivered 
to  the  printers.  Unnecessary  delay  is  often  caused  by 
postponing  these  details  till  the  last  minute. 

Reading  of  Proofs — 

Read  and  return  your  proofs  promptly. 

In  marking  proof-sheets,  use  the  standard  proofreaders' 
marks  (see  p.  123).  Do  not  adopt  a  system  of  your  own, 
which,  however  plain  it  may  seem  to  you,  is  liable  to  appear 
less  so  to  the  compositor. 

Be  careful  to  answer  all  queries  in  the  proofs.  Delays 
and  errors  often  result  from  not  attending  to  them. 

Remember  that  changes  in  the  type  cost  money.  The 
omission  or  addition  of  a  word  in  the  middle  of  a  para- 
graph may  necessitate  resetting  the  whole  of  this  from 
that  point  on;  and  if  such  alteration  is  made  in  the  page- 
proof,  it  may  further  involve  repaging  the  entire  article 
or  chapter.  Make  your  manuscript  as  perfect  as  possible 
before  delivering  it  to  the  printer.  Any  necessary  altera- 
tions should  be  made  in  the  galley-proof,  as  each  succeed- 


Ii6  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 

ing  stage  will  add  to  the  cost.  Corrections  in  plates  should 
be  studiously  avoided.  Not  only  are  they  expensive,  but 
they  are  apt  to  injure  the  plates. 

The  original  manuscript  should  in  each  instance  be 
returned  with  the  galley-proof,  in  order  that  the  proof- 
reader may  refer  to  it,  should  any  question  arise;  and 
each  successive  set  of  proofs  returned  should  be  accom- 
panied by  the  previous  marked  set.  This  will  assist  in 
calculating  the  cost  of  alterations  properly  chargeable 
to  you. 


HINTS  TO  PROOFREADERS  117 


HINTS  TO  PROOFREADERS 

Read  everything  as  if  you  yourself  were  the  author. 

Be  particularly  careful  about  proper  names  and  figures. 
If  the  copy  is  not  perfectly  clear,  or  if  you  have  reason  to 
doubt  its  correctness,  look  it  up,  or  query  it  to  the  author. 

In  asking  questions  of  authors  or  editors,  make  your 
point  clear.  A  simple  query  is  often  not  enough  to  draw 
attention  to  the  particular  point  you  have  in  mind.^ 
Queries  in  the  manuscript  should  be  transferred  to  the 
proof,  or  attention  should  be  directed  in  the  proof  to  the 
queries  made  by  the  copy-reader  in  the  manuscript. 

Be  discreet  about  your  queries.  Do  not  stultify  your- 
self and  discredit  the  office  by  asking  foolish  questions 
on  the  proof.  The  author  will  be  thankful  for  any  sensible 
suggestion  you  may  make,  but  will  resent  trivial  criticisms. 

Make  a  study  of  the  "personal  equation"  in  the  case 
of  those  individuals  (editors  and  others)  with  whom  you 
as  a  proofreader  will  constantly  have  to  deal.  One  person 
may  expect  of  you  as  a  matter  of  course  what  another 
might  regard  as  an  unwarranted  interference. 

Never  hesitate  to  correct  anything  that  is  palpably 
wrong,  however  positively  the  copy  may  assert  the  con- 
trary. Remember  that  the  blame  for  the  error  will 
eventually  be  laid  at  your  door,  and  justly  so. 

Do  not  follow  copy  blindly,  unreasoningly.  Follow 
copy  only  when,  and  as  far  as,  it  is  correct.     Whether  or 


Ii8  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 


not  it  is  correct,  you  are  the  judge.  Such  an  excuse  as, 
"I  thought  the  copy  was  edited";  or,  "I  thought  the 
author  knew  what  he  wanted,"  is  no  excuse  at  all.  I 

Do  not  ask  authors  or  editors  to  decide  questions  of 
style.  The  Manual  of  Style  is  primarily  meant  for  you. 
Learn  its  rules  so  that  you  may  correct  any  violation  of 
them  you  may  come  upon,   without  asking  questions. 

Do  not  fall  into  the  fallacy  that  the  author's  or  editor's 
O.K.  relieves  you  of  all  or  any  part  of  your  responsibility. 
Authors  and  editors  depend  on  the  proofreader  to  see  to 
it  that  the  typographical  requirements  have  been  met, 
and  that  the  adopted  style  has  been  adhered  to,  and 
affix  their  signatures  only  on  that  supposition. 

Do  not  shield  yourself  behind  your  copyholder.  The 
copyholder  is  there  to  assist  you,  not  to  tell  you  how  to 
do  things.  If  you  think  you  have  cause  to  doubt  her 
version  of  a  matter,  investigate  for  yourself. 

Do  not  suggest  to  the  copyholder  the  reading  of  a  word 
or  phrase  which  she  has  difficulty  in  making  out  from  the 
manuscript.  If  she  cannot  decipher  the  manuscript, 
remember  that  you  are  the  arbiter,  and  not  the  compositor. 

Do  not  permit  yourself  to  be  stampeded.  Cultivate 
speed,  but  remember  that  accuracy  is  even  more  impor- 
tant. If  the  necessary  time  is  not  given  you,  take  it — 
within  reasonable  limits — in  order  to  do  things  right. 
The  credit  accruing  to  you  from  doing  things  absolutely 
right  is  likely  to  outlast  the  displeasure  at  your  lack  of 
dispatch. 

In  unavoidable  cases  of  "rush,"  where  conditions  and 


HINTS  TO  PROOFREADERS  119 

orders  are  imperative,  protect  yourself  by  letting  it  be 
understood  that  you  have  done  your  best  in  the  time  allot- 
ted you,  but  that  you  must  disclaim  any  further  responsi- 
bility.' 

Put  your  initial  at  the  top  of  every  galley  you  read 
or  revise.  This  will  save  time  in  tracing  proofs,  and  insure 
the  giving  of  credit  where  it  belongs. 


I20  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 


HINTS  TO  COPYHOLDERS 

Cultivate  a  low,  soft,  clear  reading-voice.  Only  your 
own  proofreader  has  to  hear  you. 

Remember  that,  from  the  proofreader's  point  of  view, 
the  small  words  are  as  essential  as  the  big  ones.  Get 
them  all  in — and  get  them  in  right. 

Enunciate  your  plural  ^'s  distinctly. 

Do  not  get  offended  when  your  reader  asks  you  to 
repeat,  or  to  look  at  the  copy  for  himself. 

Regulate  and  equalize  your  speed.  Do  not  race  at  a 
break-neck  pace  through  typewritten  copy,  while  you 
thread  your  path  fumblingly  through  the  mazes  of  manu- 
script. 

Do  not  keep  guessing  at  a  word.  Look  at  it  closely, 
consider  the  context,  and  do  not  speak  it  until  you  have 
made  it  out — or  at  least  made  the  very  best  guess  of  which 
you  are  capable. 

Sit  at  right  angles  to  your  reader,  if  possible.  He 
hears  you  better,  and  you  can  watch  his  hand  better,  if 
you  do. 

Give  your  reader  a  chance  to  make  his  corrections. 
Slow  up  the  moment  he  puts  his  pencil  to  the  paper. 
This  will  save  you  going  over  the  same  ground  twice. 

Evolve  your  own  system  of  signals.  Do  not,  for 
instance,  waste  time  by  saying  "in  italics"  for  every  word 
or  letter  so  treated.     Instead,  raise  your  voice,  or  tap 


HINTS  TO  COPYHOLDERS  I2I 

the  table  with  your  pencil  once  for  each  word,  or  both. 
Such  a  code  need  not  be  intelligible  to  others  than  your- 
self and  your  reader. 

Do  not  waste  time  over  matters  of  style.  The  proof- 
reader is  supposed  to  know  the  rules  without  your  telling 
him;  for  instance,  what  titles  are  to  be  set  in  italics,  and 
what  roman-quoted. 

Be  careful  in  transferring  marks.  A  mark  in  the  wrong 
place  means  two  errors  uncorrected  in  place  of  one  cor- 
rected. 

In  sending  out  proofs,  see  that  everything  is  there. 
Arrange  the  copy  and  proof-sheets  neatly  and  consecu- 
tively. 

Never  send  out  proofs,  for  the  first  time,  without  con- 
sulting the  job  ticket  for  the  number  wanted,  and  the  name 
and  address  of  the  person  to  whom  they  are  to  be  sent. 

The  manuscript  should  accompany  the  galley-proof; 
the  foul  proof  (author's  marked  galley-proof)  should 
accompany  the  page-proof.  In  case  no  galley-proof  has 
been  sent,  the  manuscript  should  accompany  the  page- 
proof. 

Indicate  in  the  lower  left-hand  corner  the  contents  of 
all  the  envelopes  you  address. 

Fasten  your  pins  in  the  center  at  the  top,  not  diago- 
nally in  the  left-hand  corner,  thus  covering  up  the  direc- 
tions, etc.,  often  written  there. 

Return  every  evening  to  the  file  or  the  bookcase  any 
volume  that  may  have  been  taken  out  for  reference  during 
the  day. 


122  THE  UNIVERSITY  OF  CHICAGO  PRESS 


Remember  that  you  are  the  housekeeper  of  the  proof- 
room, and  take  pride  in  its  neat  and  orderly  appearance. 
Keeping  the  records,  files,  etc.,  naturally  devolves  upon 
you.  Perfect  your  system  so  that  everything  can  be 
located  at  a  moment's  notice.  The  more  of  that  kind  of 
work  you  do  without  being  asked,  and  the  better  you  do 
it,  the  more  you  will  be  appreciated.

of  one  system  of  law,  by  the  predominance  of  a  common  language. 

It  was  not  the  first  time  that  this  grand  prospect  had  been  held  forth

A  world-empire,  including  all  the  lands  and  nations  about  the  Medi- 
terranean Sea,  reaching  to  the  frozen  North  and  the  torrid  South  as  its 
natural  limits,  exchanging  the  virgin  ores  of  Spain  for  the  long-sought 
spices  of  Araby  the  Blest,  was  therefore  no  very  wild  imagination.  But 
while  those  that  had  conceived  it  and  striven  for  it  consciously  had  failed, 
who  could  have  imagined  that  it  should  drop  almost  suddenly,  unexpect- 
edly, by  the  force,  not  of  genius,  but  of  circumstances,  into  the  hands  of 
a  people  who  attained  it,  not  by  the  direction  of  an  Alexander,  but  by 
such  national  qualities  as  had  gained  for  Sparta  precedence  and  respect, 
coupled  with  aggressive  wars  under  the  guise  of  securing  ever-widening 
frontiers,  such  as  those  which  mark  the  rapid  strides  of  Philip's  Mace- 
donia? 

Any  political  thinker  who  witnessed  this  mighty  outcome  of  half  a

A  world-empire,  including  all  the  lands  and  nations  about  the  Mediterranean 
Sea,  reaching  to  the  frozen  North  and  the  torrid  South  as  its  natural  limits,  e.xchanging 
the  virgin  ores  of  Spain  for  the  long-sought  spices  of  Araby  the  Blest,  was  therefore  no  very 
wild  imagination.  But  while  those  that  had  conceived  it  and  striven  for  it  consciously 
had  failed,  who  could  have  imagined  that  it  should  drop  almost  suddenly,  unexpectedly, 
by  the  force,  not  of  genius,  but  of  circumstances,  into  the  hands  of  a  people  who  attained 
it,  not  by  the  direction  of  an  Alexander,  but  by  such  national  qualities  as  had  gained 
for  Sparta  precedence  and  respect,  coupled  with  aggressive  wars  under  the  guise  of  secur- 
ing ever-widening  frontiers,  such  as  those  which  mark  the  rapid  strides  of  Philip's  Mace- 
donia? 

Any  political  thinker  who  witnessed  this  mighty  outcome  of  half  a  century  might 
indeed  feel  uneasy  at  the  result,  if  he  were  not,  like  most  of  the  Stoics,  an  optimist  or 
a  fatalist.  There  was,  no  doubt,  the  mamfest  gain  of  a  great  peace  throughout  the 
world,  of  the  real  settlement  of  disputes  by  the  arbitration  of  an  umpire  with  power  to 
enforce  his  will;  there  was  the  consequent  development  of  wide  commerce  with  its 
diffusion,  not  only  of  wealth,  but  of  enlightenment.  These  material  gains  were  indis- 
putable, even  though  a  dangerous  monopoly  was  being  established,  not  merely  through 
the  enormous  advantages  inseparable  from  Roman  influence,  but  by  the  jealous  de- 
struction of  all  those  commercial  centers  which  might  have  rivaled  Rome  by  reason 
of  favored  situation  or  old  traditions  of  trade. 

But  far  more  serious  was  the  patent  fact,  that  neither  the  Roman  people  nor  their

that  it  should  drop  almost  suddenly,  unexpectedly,  by  the  force,  not  of  genius,

Sparta  precedence  and  respect,  coupled  with  aggressive  wars  under  the  guise  of 
securing  ever-widening  frontiers,  such  as  those  which  mark  the  rapid  strides  of 
Philip's  Macedonia  ?

not  unlike  that  of  Rome;  for  the  conquests  of  the  West  would  have  been  no

The  successes  of  Pyrrhus,  with  his  small  army,  against  the  adult  Rome  of  the

the  successes  of  Alexander,  with  his  giant  genius  and  armaments,  against  the 
younger  and  feebler  republic.  And  if  the  realization  of  the  conqueror's  dreams 
was  hindered  by  his  early  death,  most  of  the  early  Diadochi  had  each  for 
many  hard-fought  years  aspired  to  be  his  sole  successor,  hoping  to  complete 
his  work  and  regenerate  the  distracted  world  by  the  potent  influence  of 
Hellenistic  culture. 

A  world-empire,  including  all  the  lands  and  nations  about  the  Mediter- 
ranean Sea,  reaching  to  the  frozen  North  and  the  torrid  South  as  its  natural 
limits,  exchanging  the  virgin  ores  of  Spain  for  the  long-sought  spices  of  Araby 
the  Blest,  was  therefore  no  very  wild  imagination.  But  while  those  that  had 
conceived  it  and  striven  for  it  consciously  had  failed,  who  could  have  imagined 
that  it  should  drop  almost  suddenly,  unexpectedly,  by  the  force,  not  of  genius, 

[Leaded] 

but  of  circumstances,  into  the  hands  of  a  people  who  attained  it,  not  by  the 
direction  of  an  Alexander,  but  by  such  national  qualities  as  had  gained  for 
Sparta  precedence  and  respect,  coupled  with  aggressive  wars  under  the  guise 
of  securing  ever-widening  frontiers,  such  as  those  which  mark  the  rapid 
strides  of  Philip's  Macedonia? 

Any  political  thinker  who  witnessed  this  mighty  outcome  of  half  a  century 
might  indeed  feel  uneasy  at  the  result,  if  he  were  not,  like  most  of  the  Stoics 
an  optimist  or  a  fatalist.  There  was,  no  doubt,  the  manifest  gain  of  a  great 
peace  throughout  the  world,  of  the  real  settlement  of  disputes  by  the  arbitra- 
tion of  an  umpire  with  power  to  enforce  his  will;  there  was  the  consequent 
development  of  wide  commerce,  with  its  diffusion,  not  only  of  wealth,  but  of 
enlightenment.  These  material  gains  were  indisputable,  even  though  a  dan- 
gerous monopoly  was  being  established,  not  merely  through  the  enormous 
advantages  inseparable  from  Roman  influence,  but  by  the  jealous  destruction 
of  all  those  commercial  centers  which  might  have  rivaled  Rome  by  reason  of 
favored  situation  or  old  traditions  of  trade. 

But  far  more  serious  was  the  patent  fact,  that  neither  the  Roman  people 
nor  their  rulers  had  received  any  education  to  fit  them  for  an  imperial  policy,
